After photographing my first Magicicada in 2004 here in Michigan I fell in love with them. Last year I traveled to Chicago to photograph them some more but was just a little early. I did manage to get quite a few photos but the numbers weren't what I had hoped for. This year I plan to be in Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio the weekend of June 7th and 8th so hopefully a good number will have made there way above ground by then. I will be taking my 8 year old son with me this year. It will be his first time experiencing magicicadas and I'm hoping its a memorable experience for him. He's a bit of a science geek so I'm sure he will be overwhelmed if we envcounter the numbers of cicadas we hope to. If all goes well, I just might put together a calendar featuring my cicada photos. I'm going to try and find the time to get some video as well. I'm still trying to find my first blue/white eyed cicada. I can’t wait for this years emergence.
