Just seen a adult cicada in Pictou Nova Scotia on our back deck.Creepy looking fellow.
Sept 3, 2022 I found one with my daughter. Nova Scotia
Will Nova Scotia have any of the Brood X cicadas coming out this year (2021]?
No. No Magicicada Broods exist in Canada.
I first saw one on my deck in the summer of 2018. I did some research to find out that it was a Dog Day Cicada. A large beautiful insect.
