Finding cicadas in my backyard.

Our inquiry topic for this term is about the Living World.  To start off with there are many living things that we can find in our backyard such as insects or bugs.  The challenge was to find something outside our home in the backyard.

Look at what I had found, when I went outside.  Some cicada shells on our feijoa tree!!

Here are some facts about Cicadas.  They found all around the world and live on every continent, except one.  Antartica.  I believe they wouldn't survive in the very cold climates.  There are 42 species of cicada in New Zealand.  That's a lot!!  All 42 species are unique to our country.

Another interesting fact:  Cicadas live most of their life underground.

    Hi Sophia,
    You are working hard on your inquiry topic of insects. I love how you have found the cicada skins outside on leaves. I wonder if you can find any in other places? Keep up the great work.
