Cicada Mania

Have you found a Magicicada also known as a periodical cicada, 17-year cicada, or “locust”? These cicadas are only found in the United States.

Post your location (be as specific as you like) and your story.

These are Magicicadas, BTW. (hint: they only live east of the Rockies):

Have you found an cicada that isn’t a periodic cicada? Like a Tibicen chloromera (North America) or a Green Grocer? (Australia) Most cicadas are annual cicadas. There are 1000s of species found on every continent but Antarctica.

Report your sighting here.
