Brood V Long Island - June 8, 2016

Brood V: Long Island Cicada Emergence

Wildwood State Park
Wading River, New York

Brood V Magicicada are due to emerge on Long Island after 17 years underground. The last time they were seen was in 1999. The main brood covers Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia with a small disjunct population of Brood V emerging on Long Island. I am happy to report that Brood V Long Island has emerged with exuvia, nymphs and chorusing noted. The Magicicada septendecim has been emerging and calling this week on Long Island and efforts are underway to record their locations. If anyone observes any emergences of Brood V during June we would like to hear from you with an address or nearest cross streets. Contact info on the bottom of this Blog post.
