Brood V Long Island - June 12, 2016
Unexpected Periodic Cicada Emergence in PA - June 18, 2016
Magicicada septendecim Emergence
A surprise emergence at Lehigh Gorge State Park and surrounding area brought researchers and cicada enthusiasts to Jim Thorpe, PA to map and observe the emergence. It was reported by experts that this may be a disjunct brood from Brood XIV and not part of Brood V, which was emerging at the same time in other states. Hopefully the puzzle will be solved in the future by the experts.

Brood V Long Island - June 8, 2016
Brood V: Long Island Cicada Emergence

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.
