MAY IN JANUARY? John Ellendorf of 123 W. Washington was surprised to see a handsome black swallowtail butterfly land on his coat sleeve Sunday while he was walking on Huron Street in Ypsilanti. A common species of fields, roadsides, meadows and gardens, the butterfly, perched on the top held by Ellendorf, normally achieves adulthood in mid-May. Apparently helped in its hatching by unseasonal warmth of a week ago, this butterfly obviously was looking for sunshine and flowers and found only snow and bitter cold.

A GIRL AND HER PRIZE: Nancy Waite of 304 Pine Ridge Ave. holds a cloth-covered jar up to the light so she can better see what's inside - a big polyphemus moth captured by her dad. Obviously, she's proud as punch of her treasure.

Seventeen-Year Cicadas, June 1953

Year:
1953
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, June 1, 1953
Caption:
They Waited 17 Years for This: Seventeen-year locusts, so named because they remain in the ground 17 years before emerging, are popping up out of the ground here. A big hatch emerged last night. This picture shows locusts in six stages of development. Starting at lower right and going counter-clockwise, the stages are: 1) locust as it emerges from ground, still encased in larval shell, 2) starting to split shell along back, 3) still emerging from shell, 4) empty case from which locust has emerged, 5) emerged locust with wet wings still folded, and 6) wings almost dry.
