They are uncommon elsewhere and I usually don't hear them until late June or early July. The museum collectors say they find mostly females along the sandbanks. Aside from hieroglyphica, I won't hear any annual cicadas until sometime around the second week of June.

Look for shells in the area you last heard them. xxxxx. Search adjecent area's and listen for cicada's calling, thats the best way to locate them. Problem is I don't know of any sound files you could to know if they are calling??? That way you would know if you heard one. However keep us posted on Annuels. Joe Keep checking Paul,

I have not heard any Diceroprocta and probably won't for a long time. They are quite uncommon away from the Pearl river, but apparently common in the low sandbar growth along the river edge. I may have been very lucky to find this female so early in the season. I heard my first hieroglyphica in the Jackson, MS area May 14.

I heard my first this year on May 10 2007. Last year it was April 20 2006. They will increase in numbers as the summer goes on. Keep up the good work. Joe Fort Myers, Fla 33901 Great Photo Paul,
