We prove that if a graphGof minimum degree at least 3 has no cycle of length 2 (mod 3), thenGhas an induced subgraph which is isomorphic to eitherK4orK3,3. The above result together with its relatively short proof gives a short proof to the result by Dean et al. that every 2-connected graph of minimum degree at least 3, except forK4andK3,n(n⩾ 3), has a cycle of length 2 (mod 3). Furthermore, it gives the following immediate corollary: Every cubic connected graph except forK4andK3,3has a cycle of length 2 (mod 3).
