\nAre they like taking over the world or something? ?, ?<\/strong><\/p>\nI caught a cicada!<\/h3>\n
\nI found a cicada on the grass in my yard today.I scooped it up in tuperwear and brought it inside.I was I went to ask.com to see what they eat and this site came up.I read a question asking will cicadas bite or sting?The answer was no, but they do pinch,scratch,and sometimes they lay eggs on you!Not like I would ever touch it.GROSS!!!!!Some one asked what they eat and the answer was a tree or something like that.The guy that answered said it was best to let it go.So when I’m done online I’m gonna open the tuperwear and RUN!!!!I hate bugs.I don’t know why but I wanted to keep it as a pet.No spiders though.I can’t even look at spiders!!! what my name is, this planet<\/strong><\/p>\n2004 CICADAS in Pigeon Forge?<\/h3>\n
\nCould anyone tell me if Pigeon Forge will be effected by the 2004 cicadas. I’m taking a girl scout troop there mid-June and am concerned about perhaps the emergence overpowering the trip since there are so many trees there.

\nI HAVE HEARD MANY COMMENTS ABOUT WHEN CICADA’S WILL BE HERE. IS IT 2003 OR 2004? I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL BUT NOT AS MANY AS I REMEMBER IN CINCINNATI OHIO THE LAST TIME IT TOOK PLACE. MELISSA, HAMILTON, OHIO<\/strong><\/p>\nCIcadas in September + 17-year emergence in 2004<\/h3>\n
\nLots of cicadas still buzzing away here. Things got off to a late start due to the cool spring that we had. It’s doubtful that anyone reporting cicadas this late in the year are hearing Magicicada. They are normally the first ones out in any areaNext year, Brood X, probably the most widespread emergence, will be emerging around June 1st. Don’t miss it! If you happen to live in an emergence area, you won’t miss it! MIke Frey, Lititz PA<\/strong><\/p>\nAddition to previous<\/h3>\n
\nSorry I forgot, my cicada resembles the last picture above Kathleen, Mississauga, Ont, CA<\/strong><\/p>\nFound a Cicada <\/h3>\n
\nI initially found this bug and thought that was not native to our country, upon contacting the U of T campus in Mississauga. I found out what it was.It was almost 2 inches long and it was dying, I kept it until itdentification and then let it go (dead). I was totally fasinated by this insect. <\/p>\n — Kathleen, Mississauga, Ont, CA<\/strong><\/p>\n
My mom found one on her paper route!<\/h3>\n
\n My mother found a cicada on her clothes when she came home in the morning from her daily paper route. She put it in a paper bag and placed it in the trash and it crawled out and suprised my step father. My mother has lived here for 20 years and claims she has never seen themin florida, but in her previous home in Wisconsin she saw them. Do they not really come to florida because of the heat?

\nI was sitting out in front of my office building and there I saw a green cicada dead on it’s back. It has been exactly 17 years since the first time ever exposed to them. RSF, Mclean, Virginia right outside of DC<\/strong><\/p>\nTibiscen sp.<\/h3>\n
\nJust picked one up off my patio, not sure of sp. Found him upside down but he’s still got a little life in him. Have him in the house now to show the kids tonight. Grew up on W. coast so never saw these growing up. My first introduction to them was actually in Okinawa (HUGE sp. like small sparrows!)Looking forward to brood X next spring. Stacy, Odenton, Maryland<\/strong><\/p>\nRe: Chicago early emergence?<\/h3>\n
\nI have not seen any, just the usual Tibicens but I believe I heard some Magicicada. In our maples along the street, there were some strange lower-pitched two-syllable calls amid the usual Tibicens “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”. I haven’t seen any bodies other than Tibicens (whether from die-off or the numerous cats and dogs in the neighborhood capturing them). Shanda, West Dundee, IL<\/strong><\/p>\n help help help<\/h3>\n

\nSome activity here in west suburban Boston – exoskeletons found on vertical surfaces and some sporadic noise heard. Nothing like I heard or saw on the Cape years (17?) ago when there were hundreds of exoskeletons, constant noise (sounded like a flying saucer landing) and tips of pine tree branches were falling off the trees! Warren Thompson, Bedford, MA<\/strong><\/p>\nMelampsalta calliope<\/h3>\n
\nHi cicada people,I am in a research lab (see CicadaCentral) that is working mostly on one tribe of cicadas – the Cicadettini. These cicadas are found all over the world, but there are only two described species in North America – Melampsalta calliope and Melampsalta floridensis. These are very small (less than 1 inch including wings) green cicadas found in grassy fields in Central\/Eastern NA. Does anyone out there have any recent specimens\/photos\/song recordings that they would be willing to trade? Any information on these cicads would be welcome! Please email me at cicada900 [AT] yahoo.com.auHappy cicada hunting! Kathy, Storrs, CT<\/strong><\/p>\nNymph Shells<\/h3>\n
\nWe’ve seen nymph shells in our yard both last year and this year. They’re not in great quantities, so I assume they’re not the 17 year cicadas? What kind are these, and can I expect to see them each summer? They’ve come around in July and August of 02 and 03? Barbara , Toms River, NJ<\/strong><\/p>\nnext circada cycle<\/h3>\n

\nI just noticed the cicadas in my western Pennsylvania neighborhood recently. It seems late in the year for this; could it be due to the amount of rain that we have recieved this year? And, what type of cicada is this and at what interval do they return? Thanks, Wayne and Pat 9-3-03 Wayne Cosentino, Avella, PA USA (western PA)<\/strong><\/p>\nOut and About!<\/h3>\n
\nFor the past two weeks it has been excellent cicada viewing! Almost nightly I get to see little ones coming out of their shells and then big ones making the end of August music. Just beautiful! Elizabeth, Chicago, IL<\/strong><\/p>\nCicada Killers<\/h3>\n
\nIt was quite an education learning about not only Cicadas, but those very impressive wasps that like to kill them. Those wasps get my respect. It has ben a very auditory summer. Keith Brigode, Washington Lake, Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\nCicada Recorded for CD<\/h3>\n
\nWe make CDs of sound effects and recorded a daytime bug that might be a Cicada and need to know if it kind of makes the sound of rattlesnake in the trees. We have several recordings and just need to confirm that is the name of the bug. http:\/\/a1freesoundeffects.com Bob Sound, Houston, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n17-year-cicadas in Maine?<\/h3>\n
