The Nanai<\/strong> cicadas (Raiateana knowlesi (Distant, 1907)<\/strong>) of Fiji<\/strong> are back after 8-years<\/strong>, and Fiji is issuing stamps to celebrate their emergence.<\/p>\n

Update! If you want to see what the Nanai look like, visit the Cicada Discussion, Science and Study Group on Facebook and view Elias Bonaro’s 9\/22 post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nanai cicadas are special because they have an 8-year periodical<\/strong> cycle. They are found in the hills of Viti Levu island<\/strong> of the Fiji archipelago. They are also special because of the Legend of The Nanai<\/a> and their importance to Fijian culture. <\/p>\n
