I made this account this month, but I am a returning player (prev accounts closed). I am in the nature flight and I am an artist! I like the community of this game more than the features of the game itself.

They spend most of that time underground. #24 - Egg - 10 points Cicadas can lay up to 600 eggs (typically 200-400) in trees and shrubs. [s]#25 - Hole in the ground - 10 points When the nymphs hatch, they drop and burrow underground where they can remain for years until it is time to emerge.[/s] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VHnVHXe.jpg[/img] #26 - Shell - 10 points When a nymph becomes an adult, it leaves its shell behind. #27 - Leg - 10 points Like other insects, cicadas have six. #28 - Wing - 10 points Their wings range from 2.5 cm to 15 cm long. #29 - Eye - 10 points Cicadas have five: two large compound eyes and three ocelli between those - most likely used to detect light and darkness. THINGS THAT FLY (BETTER) Periodical cicadas are notoriously bad flyers, and they often run into things! These might do a bit better. #30 - Flag - 10 points #31 - Kite - 10 points #32 - Clouds - 10 points [s]#33 - Bird(s) - 10 points[/s] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4ZMUUoU.jpg[/img] #34 - Dragon - 10 points #35 - Plane - 10 points (Yes, Airplanefoxx and scylla, this one's for you.) FEEDING TIME Modified mouthparts are designed to feed on liquids rather than solids. They extract nutrients from trees and their roots. #36-#37 - Trees - 10 points each Two different types of trees. #38 - Roots - 10 points [s]MATING[/s] DATING HELPERS As soon as they shed their shell, male cicadas begin trying to attract a mate. Maybe these would help? #39 - Chocolate - 10 points #40 - Flowers - 10 points #41 - A "love" letter - 10 points Stationary, heart stickers, or write a fake love letter. #42 - Art - 10 points #43 - A picnic - 10 points Food + Outdoors #44 - Walk in the park - 10 points A park bench or outdoor seat #45 - Dinner - 10 points A menu (Don't show the location!) #46 - Movie - 10 points DVD, video, or a device you would use to watch a show. #47 - Music - 10 points CD, vinyl record, or a device you would use to play music. NOISE Unfortunately, cicadas find a mate by screaming! Actually they rub their wings, and a special part of their exoskeleton called a "timbal" makes the identifiable clicking sound. Their love "song" can reach 120 dB (as loud as a chainsaw). So, let's make some noise! #48 - Radio - 10 points #49 - Wind chime - 10 points #50 - Drum, shaker, or percussion instrument - 10 points #51 - String instrument - 10 points #52 - Keyboard - 10 points #53 - Bell - 10 points #54 - Power tool - 10 points From what I've heard, it is the finest music to cicadas, and it's better not to plan home improvement projects during their active periods. CREATIVE USES Cicadas have no defenses except their sheer number: They are slow, clumsy fliers that do not sting, bite, or hide. Because they are so abundant, many like to find ways to use them or the shells they leave behind. #55 - Recipe - 15 points Share a creative "recipe" (doesn't need to be food) that involves cicadas or shells. (No photo required - only the details.) BONUS In case you were having trouble with a couple of the tasks, here is an alternative to make up the points. (Only 530 are needed for the completion badge, but the maximum possible is 550 with the bonus.) #56 - Cicada - 10 points each Include a picture or a drawing of a cicada! #57 - Type - 10 points Tell us what type of cicada you showed in #56.

Whooo! Excited to join again this year, I've been waiting with excitement for this event c: Here's hoping I manage to get that completion badge!! [b]#1 - Introduce yourself! - 5 points[/b] [indent]Hello! I've been on FR for a little over 8 years. While I dont get to be as active as I'd like sometimes, I always love visiting in and especially love events like these. I'm in Lightning flight - have been since I joined and can't see myself changing flights now! Once I passed the 5 year mark I was like "there's no going back, Lightning is stuck with me now" haha Mind you, there are a good many other flights I am fond of and have considered switching to in the past (Nature being a primary one >w<) I'm very fond of the FR community and the bond we all have in loving these pixilated dragons. I'm terribly endeared towards many of the dragons in my lair, and just being able to come on FR and both engage in the community but also tend to my dragons I've collected through the years makes me really happy c: [/indent] [b]#2 - Create your ID - 5 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/0YHgoAX.jpeg[/img] [indent]I had a bit of stationary perfect for the occasion! Kinda messed up my writing but I think it still came out nice c:[/indent] [b]#3 - Take a friend! - 5 points @Juxta13!! Thank you for allowing us to ping you as well c: [b]#4 - Clan Representative - 5 points [/b][indent]SO I don't have exactly a bug expert BUT I have Jojen and Zira. Jojen would probably be into bugs and if he met a Entomologist he'd totally be down for their infodump. Zira just has very bug vibes to her. Therefore I post them both, because- well, I am indecisive.

Hurray my first and still favourite FR event! INTRODUCTIONS! #1 - Introduce yourself! - 5 points Hello, I'm Doozie of Nature! I had my 3rd FR anniversary back in April, and its been Nature the whole time. I didn't even look at the other flights when I made my account, I will always choose the plant/tree/flower option [emoji=flowering tree size=1] My favourite part of Flight Rising is all the player made content, people are so creative and cooperative, its really amazing! #2 - Create your ID - 5 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/whT9qAQ.jpg[/img] #3 - Take a friend! - 5 points @Grimolf that time of year again! #4 - Clan Representative - 5 points [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/68299397][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/682994/68299397_350.png[/img][/url] Wildflower is a gardener, which of course requires knowledge of bugs, but she also just plain likes them. She's interested in the philosophy of worms, the colours of butterflies, and she named both her kids after insects. #5 - Be prepared - 5 points [outfit=2587190] Time for a plant collecting expedition!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/NEiKCzH.jpg[/img] #25 - Hole in the ground - 10 points When the nymphs hatch, they drop and burrow underground where they can remain for years until it is time to emerge. [img]https://i.imgur.com/F8Aevrv.jpg[/img] #26 - Shell - 10 points When a nymph becomes an adult, it leaves its shell behind. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yJOIkja.jpg[/img] #27 - Leg - 10 points Like other insects, cicadas have six.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/83WB4Q9.jpg[/img] eye of the peacock tail feather THINGS THAT FLY (BETTER) Periodical cicadas are notoriously bad flyers, and they often run into things! These might do a bit better. #30 - Flag - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZivcC3j.jpg[/img] #31 - Kite - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/1MvtneW.jpg[/img] #32 - Clouds - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/aLC29cs.jpg[/img] #33 - Bird(s) - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/OwKIIkX.jpg[/img] #34 - Dragon - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/MkgOYkT.jpg[/img] #35 - Plane - 10 points (Yes, Airplanefoxx and scylla, this one's for you.)

[img]https://i.imgur.com/LFlS9CQ.jpg[/img] Cottonwood [img]https://i.imgur.com/NA8d4lc.jpg[/img] Spruce + Pine #38 - Roots - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/E5rMWLS.jpg[/img] [s]MATING[/s] DATING HELPERS As soon as they shed their shell, male cicadas begin trying to attract a mate.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ebR8z1k.jpg[/img] there's a record player in there NOISE Unfortunately, cicadas find a mate by screaming! Actually they rub their wings, and a special part of their exoskeleton called a "timbal" makes the identifiable clicking sound. Their love "song" can reach 120 dB (as loud as a chainsaw). So, let's make some noise! #48 - Radio - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/xR5JJlZ.jpg[/img] #49 - Wind chime - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/euh040I.jpg[/img] looks like the littlest one lost its sail during the winter, oops #50 - Drum, shaker, or percussion instrument - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/pwRkEEB.jpg[/img] #51 - String instrument - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/wN23Ppx.jpg[/img] Bow is an instrument with string right? #52 - Keyboard - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/oTy3209.jpg[/img] #53 - Bell - 10 points [img]https://i.imgur.com/8pD3xwM.jpg[/img] #54 - Power tool - 10 points From what I've heard, it is the finest music to cicadas, and it's better not to plan home improvement projects during their active periods. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LdE8vVj.jpg[/img] CREATIVE USES Cicadas have no defenses except their sheer number: They are slow, clumsy fliers that do not sting, bite, or hide. Because they are so abundant, many like to find ways to use them or the shells they leave behind. #55 - Recipe - 15 points Share a creative "recipe" (doesn't need to be food) that involves cicadas or shells. (No photo required - only the details.) Apparently people have started making their own calcium supplements from ground eggshell powder. BONUS In case you were having trouble with a couple of the tasks, here is an alternative to make up the points. (Only 530 are needed for the completion badge, but the maximum possible is 550 with the bonus.) #56 - Cicada - 10 points each Include a picture or a drawing of a cicada! [img]https://i.imgur.com/whT9qAQ.jpg[/img] #57 - Type - 10 points Tell us what type of cicada you showed in #56. (No photo required.)

Scavenger hunt time! I'm excited :D [quote][b]Reminders:[/b] Please do not delete your [u]whole[/u] post. (Deleting contents is fine.) Do not include any identifying images! Do not put yourself at risk! Having trouble with an item? Get creative! [b]DO NOT edit your post after Saturday, June 1st 23:45 FR![/b][/quote] INTRODUCTIONS! #1 - Introduce yourself! - 5 points (no photo needed) Tell us about yourself! How long have you been here? What flight are you in? What do you like most about the site? Anything you like! [color=green]Hello there! I'm a relatively new player (I've been here about 2 and a half months), but I've already been sucked in pretty thoroughly and have probably spent too much time on this site already, haha. I'm in the Nature flight, hence why I'm participating so heavily in this event specifically. The only other thing you need to know about me is that I am, first and foremost, a cat-lover. There is no better creature on this earth in my eyes![/color] [emoji=cat 3 size=1] #2 - Create your ID - 5 points It should include your user name, user ID, the event, and date. But, feel free to include any other personalization you like. Show it off! If you lose it just make a replacement and add it here. (Yes, if you manage to write a recognizable name or symbol and GG24 on your hand/finger/nail, I suppose that can count.) #3 - Take a friend! - 5 points (no photo needed) Ping a friend or two that might like to join your adventure. (You are welcome to ping yourself to find your way back or ping me if you don't want to ping anyone else!) @gomphidae [color=green]Absolutely no pressure but if you ever want to go bug hunting... just let me know :)[/color] #4 - Clan Representative - 5 points (no photo needed) Who will be representing your lair? Show off your lair entomologist or the dragon just fascinated by bugs. [color=green]This is Goldenrod! He's my customized progenitor, icon, and just generally my favorite dragon. I don't have much, if any, lore on this site, but I've decided that Goldenrod is especially fond of plants and animals that others may find strange or ugly. Anything weird is his absolute favorite![/color] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93449613][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/934497/93449613_350.png[/img][/url] #5 - Be prepared - 5 points (no photo needed) Use the dressing room to create the perfect outfit for exploring the great outdoors and share it here.
