Cicada Mania

Post your cicada questions here!

Have you found an cicada that isn’t a periodic cicada? Like a Tibicen chloromera (North America) or a Green Grocer? (Australia) Most cicadas are annual cicadas. There are 1000s of species found on every continent but Antarctica.

Report your sighting here.

Update: closing this topic for the season. Thanks for posting.

These are Magicicadas, BTW. (hint: they only live east of the Rockies):
