When New York mistakes itself for Provence…
Posted on September 8, 2013 by admin
As spring comes around get ready to hear cicadas on every street corner. Around one billion cicadas are set to hatch on May 27. If you live in New York, the chances are you’ll only see this phenomenon four times in your life – since it only happens every 17 years.
Cicadas have a very short life span, giving them just enough time to find a male and to lay between 400 and 600 eggs in the trees. The eggs only hatch 17 years later, in spring, when the temperature reaches 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The last time eggs were laid was back in 1996.
So, with New York taking on a Provence-style atmosphere, are you growing impatient as you wait to hear the cicadas’ song? Well, you may be a bit disappointed. American cicadas sound a little different to their Provençal cousins (and, to tell the truth, they actually seem a bit threatening)…Listen here.
What are you doing on the 27th?

Quand New York se prend pour la Provence…
Au printemps soyez prêt à entendre des cigales à tous les coins de rues. L’éclosion d’environ 1 milliard de cigales est prévue le 27 mai. Si vous habitez NYC, vous allez voir ce phénomène 4 fois seulement dans votre vie étant donné que ça n’arrive qu’une fois tous les 17 ans.
Les cigales ont une durée de vie très courte, juste le temps de rencontrer un male et de pondre entre 400 et 600 œufs dans les arbres. L’éclosion des œufs ne se fait que 17 ans plus tard, au printemps, lorsque la température de la terre atteint 16 degré Celsius. La dernière ponte d’œuf date de 1996.
Alors New York prend des airs de Provence et vous êtes impatients d’écouter les chants des cigales ? Vous allez peut-être être un peu déçu. Les cigales américaines chantent un peu différemment (et à vrai dire, elles semblent un peu menaçantes)…Ecouter ici.
