Abstract:
In North Carolina, dog-day cicadas appear in smaller numbers every year. Observations in a Charlotte, North Carolina suburban neighborhood revealed that the cicadas were being attacked by carpenter ants as they emerged from the ground. Thus, predation is an important regulator of dog-day cicadas.
