<\/p>\nIsn’t this a lovely picture (updated with colors sorted)?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This image represents the combined range of all Magicicada periodical cicada<\/a> broods, including the extinct Broods XI (last recorded in Connecticut) and XXI (last recorded in Florida). <\/p>\n To produce this image, I visited John Cooley’s Cicadas @ UCONN Cicada Geospacial Data Clearinghouse<\/a> and downloaded the Shapefile of Magicicada broods. Then I used the computer program QGIS<\/a> to change the Shapefile to a KML file, and then I opened the file in Google Earth<\/a>. Credit goes to John for pulling the data together into the Shapefile.<\/p>\n I manually edited the KML file to try to give each Brood a different color.<\/p>\n An interesting area is Fredrick County, where 5 different broods seem to exist (or have existed) at once. Peach = Brood I It’s also interesting that four of the broods are separated by four years: X, XIV, I, V. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Isn’t this a lovely picture (updated with colors sorted)?
