Eggs!
Here’s a picture of Magicicada eggs from Roy Troutman. They’re about 3-4mm long. Very tiny.
Brood XIII, rotten but not forgotten
Brood XIII is all but gone in and few select areas (like Westmont IL for instance). Will you miss them? You might find a couple stragglers next year, but you’re going to have to wait until 2024 for the next Brood XIII emergence.
At this point you should start to see flagging from the Brood XIII cicadas: brown, dead leaves where the cicadas laid their eggs.
If you’ve willing to travel, you can see and hear the Brood XIV next year too.
Deanna’s cicada photos on Flickr are a nice representation of the Brood XIII emergence. Check them out whenever you want to reminisce.
More Brood XIII photos to come, and lots of other cicada fun is coming up, so stay tuned!
Update: make sure you check out all the cool images people added to Comments section of the CicadaMania MySpace page.

Cicadas (and me) on Fuji Network News
A few of you might have noticed the film crew following me around the Cicada Mania festival. They filmed me at the festival, as well as back in Jersey — a once in a life time (or maybe once in 17 years) experience. The news cast aired yesterday in Japan, but you might be able to see it on a show called “Morning Eye” in North America.
Here is the final news story:
Roy Troutman, Gerry Bunker and Joe Green also appear in the video.

The final winner in the blue eyed cicada contest
Michael Jimms sent us this photo of a blue eyed Magicicada:
Michael won the last button in the blue/white/gray eyed cicada category.
Congratulations to all the winners. There are still prizes left in the contest: for Multi Colored Eyed cicadas, and for an emerging nymph with white eyes. Good luck.

Emergence Update for 6/19/2007
We got our first IOWA sighting!
Questions:
- When will they be gone??? About 2 weeks after the last one emerges. By the time Independence day rolls around, most places will be “liberated” from them.
- What’s that smell??? Like any rotting animal, cicadas emit a funky stank after they die. I think they smell like old bacon grease, other’s say Limburger cheese, wet dog…
- I haven’t seen any cicadas yet, does that mean I won’t see/hear any? Probably; time to get in the car and go to them.
Locations:
- Cedar River near Atalissa, Iowa
- Lombard and Elmhurst are “cicada heaven”
- At Lake Geneva at Aurora University the Cicada were EVERYWHERE
- Singing in Wheaton
- Palos Heights is crawling with these things.
- All over the place in Wheeling, IL
- EVERYWHERE in Schiller Park
- Big Foot Beach State Park (southern Wisconsin next to Lake Geneva)
- Aurora,IL
