| Description: Did the cicada conserve water and keep cool by using small, shady microclimates in the mesquite tree from which it called? Did the cicada somehow manage to evaporatively cool? This seemed unlikely, since biologists had long assumed that insects were too small and vulnerable to water loss to do so. If Diceroprocta did evaporatively cool, how did it avoid desiccating in the desert heat?
