Hi Andrew:
You mentioned that we need to
understand the life cycle of this
insect.
You make a good point. I wonder how many other
little critters change their cycle like this one does- to match the
temperature. Depending upon what part of the continent you inhabit, your
co-habitors can take one, two or three years to go from egg to adult. In
my part of Ontario it is usually the longest one.
I know there are others like the cicada and June
bug with multiple cycle years but that's part of their normal rythym. I think
the JB is unique. (And if it's not I'm hoping some one on the list can fill me
in.)
Dan
