Beyond the buzz of cicadas
After mating, the female lays hundreds of eggs in tree twigs. Newly hatched nymphs fall to the ground. The young spend up to 17 years developing underground (depending on the species), sucking on roots for food. Emerging adults only live a few days, just long enough to breed. WILD Facts is a regular feature written by Linda May, a wildlife interpretive specialist with the Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division. Three Women Who Win By Jim Shepherd This past week has been one of the busiest ever in competitive shooting. With the 2008 Olympics, the Grand National, and the World Speed Shooting Championships all underway, hundreds of shooters from around the world have been fighting for championship titles. As the smoke clears, three women have left definitive marks on shooting. Two, Cory Cogdell and Kim Rhode, were instrumental in the United States' best Olympic showing in more than four decades. The third, Kay Clark-Miculek, has left a mark in practical shooting that will take years to match. Collectively, they're proof that shooting is one sport where the gender of the competitor means virtually nothing. If you can't hit the targets, it doesn't matter how tall, or strong or fast you are. One proved to be an unlikely heroine. Cogdell, 21, of Eagle River, Alaska, barely made the US World Championship Shooting team in 2007, finishing fiftieth out of seventy competitors at the Worlds. She improved in the Beijing World Cup earlier this year, but still only finished in twelfth place. But Cogdell kept bouncing back from what appeared to be hopeless situations last week to win a bronze medal that observers say was simply destined to go around her neck. It was also the first of six medals the USA would eventually win. : : For More : :
