When is a 2012 Magicicada not a Brood I cicada? When it’s a straggler<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

A straggler is a periodical cicada that emerges in a year before or after the year they are supposed to emerge. Typically a straggler will emerge one or four years before, or one year after the year they should have emerged. Stragglers from Broods II (due 2013), Brood V (due 2016) and Brood XIX (backin 2011) are or will emerge this year in limited numbers. <\/p>\n

Brood II is set to emerge next year in most of central Virginia (as well as CT, MD, NC, NJ, NY, PA), Brood V will emerge in four years in Virginia and West Virginia (as well as OH, PA), and Brood XIX emerged last year in a few areas of Virginia (as well as AL, AR, GA, IL, IN, KY, MO, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN).<\/p>\n

Stragglers present a challenge for people tracking the Brood I emergence because Brood II, Brood V and Brood XIX stragglers will emerge in the same states as Brood I cicadas. Brood II and Brood V overlap Brood I in some places. <\/p>\n

Here is a comparison of the I,II & V Broods. The black dots represent where the cicadas have emerged historically. <\/p>\n

Here’s a map of Brood XIX in case you are curious:

Visit Cicadas @ UCONN (formerly Magicicada.org)<\/a> for more information on this phenomena, and report your cicada sightings while you’re there.
