Check out this picture of a female Magicicada cassini straggler taken by Edwin Huizinga of Baltimore, MD!
So far today we’ve had a report from Baltimore MD, and Pohatcong Twp. NJ (see the message board). Stay tuned…
We’ve had a report of a straggler found in Bethesda Maryland.
Details are developing…
If you find a straggler, take a photo. Better yet, take a photo of the cicada next to today’s paper so we can have a record of the date.
We’ve had a straggler Magicicada sighting in Cherry Grove, OH!
More details to follow…

The cicadas are back! (sort of… )
Washington Memories from the Washington Examiner:
Ah, the memories … It was around this time last year when the Washington summer air was full of love, full of life, full of … cicadas. Well, the cicadas have gone away, burrowed under the ground for the next 17 years. But fear not, cicada lovers. A similar invasion is just around the corner … summer interns. And they’re akin to cicadas in more ways than one …
Hey folks: there’s still a chance we’ll see stragglers.

Cicadas (and me) on CNN
Last year around this time I appeared on the Anderson Cooper Show on CNN.
Be warned: I look how a dude who runs a cicada website should look like: 40 pounds overweight and a little scraggly.

The Cicadas of Winter
Here’s a review for a Japanese Anime titled Human Crossing: the Cicadas of Winter. From the review, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with cicadas, but I’m posting the link anyway.
