Dedicated to cicadas, the most amazing insects in the world.
If you want to support Cicada Mania, the best way is to share the site with friends and family… but you can also buy some Cicada Merchandise.

At the start of 2018 Australia has been having an awesome cicada season, which should continue through to March, depending on the species and part of the country.
The best months of the cicada season in New Zealand are December – April.
Throughout the world, annual cicada emergences will follow their usual cycles.
The World Cup Cicada, Chremistica ribhoi, will return after 4 years in Meghalaya, India.
Magicicada cicadas will return in 2018 in New York State after 17 years. Brood VII aka the Onondaga Brood can be found in the Finger Lakes area of New York.
Magicicada stragglers should also make an appearance in limited numbers.
20,000 or so years ago the earth was a colder place. Glaciers covered much of North America, including many states that currently are home to Magicicada, and other species of cicadas. There were glaciers in Wisconsin as recently as 9,500 years ago. The area below the glaciers were dominated by taiga, a landscape dominated by sappy evergreens and grasses (mastodon food). Florida was three times the size it was today.

What I’m curious about is this:
For some reason this stuff intrigues me. Thank goodness my local library has a Jstor account.
I felt bad about always using an illustration of North American cicadas, so I made a Green Grocer cicada for Australian fans.
Get this image on a shirt, mug or even a pillow case via CafePress (the mugs are the most affordable).
Here’s something for Windows users: cicada cursors.
If you like to customize your PC, you can swap out your cursor with a cursor shaped like a cicada. 
Download the cicada cursor it today (download and unzip).
Here’s a tutorial for changing your cursor.
I have no idea if you can change the cursor on a Mac or mobile device.
Update! Try the new Magicicada cursor (.cur file in .zip file)!
