After the hunting of dust devils, the wind began to already blow very to sharp avoiding completely the formation of these phenomena reason why I decided to go me to the olive groves that there are by the wonderful field to film to my beloveds and favourite insects, the Cicadas! they appear different species beginning by the Cicada Orni very common in the olive trees and pine groves of the zone, Euryphara contentei is another very small species and almost inaudible for the human, I realized of which she existed two years ago when I fell exactly persecuting a tolvanera and tapeworm in front of the face this pretty insect of green color and that sings of a very peculiar way which you can appreciate in this connection that I put to you next: http://www2.arnes.si/~ljprirodm3/E_contentei.htm Also it inhabits the called cicada argentata Tettigetta that is classic of the zones of low scrub and cereal fields, is possible to be seen from June principles to end and August principles, surely no longer there is because already to finished to the season and this year one does not go away if possible to find it by any side, perhaps some unit is alive because it has been delayed when emerging and this by it even has singing jeje. I put the connection of this small cicada and very difficult to see for that does not know it. http://www2.arnes.si/~ljprirodm3/argentata.htm This called species lusitanica Barbarian Cicada that is quite difficult to find since only once the last year listens to it in a zone of you hoist of high altitude in a zone in the middle of the field, this if I have filmed it here in Entrevías (Madrid) and peculiarly it takes to almost two weeks in a same zone of young pines and maples. http://www2.arnes.si/~ljprirodm3/Cicada_barbara.htm Plebejus de Tibicen never until this year (that I of Madrid up to here in Ontígola have brought them so that they raise) had listened to them and it is not to be strange because there are no zones of you hoist that they are of advanced years; all are almost young and it is possible to be climbed easily seeing the Cicadas with enough facility that knows them as its palm of the hand for example I: D, the majority are almonds tree, olive trees, several lost fig trees by the field and zones of pines that have planted because it does but of 10 years by small and the easy thing not to climb that they are. The Melampsalta cicada varipes is one which they leave at the beginning of Julio when they even are without harvesting the cereal fields and others so that they are not mature, unfortunately do not last but of 2 weeks and this year to last to me to film them since I was not that way at the beginning of June, but so that you do not remain with the desire I put another connection to you where you will also see in photography and its song it puncturing in an icon of quick Time if you have it installed in your PC. http://www2.arnes.si/~ljprirodm3/Melampsalta.htm By this year 2007 or to finished in Ontígola the season of these insects and it will be necessary there to be satisfied to the storms that form that way hunting them by the field, but next year that surely I will have a good videocamera will film again all these insects and I will cross myself but of 10 kilometers if it is necessary until arriving at a zone where there are pine groves of great extension, I hope to find cicadas that are totally spectacular for my as querula is the legendary Psalmocharias or the garricola Tibicina. A greeting and to enjoy the nature without causing no damage to him:).
