We have decided to introduce a Historical Egret Article series, which will involve reprinting articles from past issues. Over the lifespan of The Egret, we have accumulated a plethora of quality written works, many of which may go unread by new (as well as existing) members. This series looks to highlight relevant articles from within the archives. All previous issues are available on the Club website.

Below is a reprint from September 1985 (Egret Volume 2, Issue 3), in which Susan Morrison describes the moulting of a cicada. If you spent anytime outside in Essex County this summer (or even just opened your windows), you can probably understand why this article was deemed relevant. Enjoy.
