Isopycnic Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Post emergence instances here. Of the three extant 13-year broods, Brood XIX covers the most territory geographically. Missouri probably leads in populations of Brood XIX, but notable emergences occur throughout the south and Midwest. In addition to Missouri, Brood XIX cicadas emerge in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, and Oklahoma. This brood appeared in 1998. http://insects.about.com/od/truebugs/tp/cicadabroodmaps.01.htm Future Brood XIX Emergences: 2011, 2024, 2037, 2050, 2063, 2076 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I've seen a few of them but nothing like it was when I was a kid in the late 80's. I can't remember which year it was but I have memories of "shells" laying EVERYWHERE as a child one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Massive outbreak taken place here in my neck of the woods (Southwest Randolph County in the Uwharrie mtns). Sounds like chicken house sirens going off allday very noisy. I have shells everywhere on my leylands and every tree for that matter. Today I would stop and watch them coming out of their shells on the trees. They have red eyes, nasty looking critters. Are the holes in the ground where they are entering back in or coming out? Looks like someone with super long spikes on golf shoes trampled the ground, very fascinating to say the least. Tonight the siren sound is gone, but by the woods it sounds like water runing.

FoothillsNC Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 a few nights ago I heard one. It was nearly dark and I def. recall the unmistakable sound they make, but that lasted a few minutes and haven't heard a thing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 They have been singing every single day for the last week (week and a half?) from the woods at the back end of my property, as well as across the field to my east. They are just far enough away to not be a big annoyance but if they get any closer they will. I had tons of them, probably thousands, come out of my yard a week or two back two separate times...a few days apart. It was quite impressive. Fortunately they decided not to use my back yard for their humongous orgies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 87 ? I took East Greensboro-Chapel Hill Rd. home as opposed to I-40. It takes a little longer, but it's a lot more "fun" of a drive than I-40. The Circadas were especially bad around the El Whitney area (which is where the road I took interchanged with NC 87).

DixieBlizzard Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sorry I missed this earlier but I have been living in Cicada Hell for the past week and a half, until today (maybe the cooler weather quietened the boogers!). I have NEVER seen so many of these things in my life and it was deafening loud! My puppy went on a ride with us and she was doing soooooo well until she puked up a Pedigree/Cicada combo. That was pretty friggin nasty. We drove back by the spot where we dumped said puke and there was a crow that found the combo platter appetizing. Enjoy your dinner folks!

FoothillsNC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 anyone know what these bugs are? They're piled on top of each other on a few of my azaleas, but they're not eating any vegetation that I can see. Some mornings I find them in masses on the front porch, then they always end up back on the azalea leaves. Never seen them before. They're mostly red, but a few are black.
