Today is October 1st and i didnt hear any cicadas but i might still hear some more. I'm just wondering when i will stop hearing them.

I wondered if the short days and some unusually warm temperatures fooled it into responding as though it were the next spring. The Tibicen pictures are probably T. lyricen.

I will listen more carefully to see if i hear anymore because the sound i heard was that same sound the 17 year cicadas use to make. So then i guess these cicadas are early birds. I sure wish i could see one but i doubt i would. sheri Wow then i probably really did hear a Magicicada.

One on the 12, and one on the 21nd. I think they are early Brood XIV. Im guessing the drought we have had made some trees go dormant, then when it rained about 2 weeks ago, they came back from being dormant, and tricked the cicada into thinking another year passed.

I dont hear alot of them anymore because they use to be noisy but i still hear groups of them. It will be interesting to see when they stop singing over here. About a week ago i was on my bike and i heard one off in the distance that sounded like a 17 year one making one wonder if its possible for a 17 year one to pop up real late after the party is already over. But i didnt stop to look for it because it could of been way up in a tree. I still hear cicadas singing out here in Westmont, Illinois near Chicago in fact today i heard some of them.
