BROOD XIV Ready to Emerge!!!

HELP US TRACK BROOD XIV IN THE MID-ATLANTIC

Brood XIV should emerge in large numbers between May 15 and June 15 this year. We are interested in both positive and negative reports especially in West Virginia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Brood XIV should appear in southwestern West Virginia, southwestern Virginia and central Pennsylvania this season. Please help us map their distribution.

BROOD X UPDATE: All 3,000 Brood X records for DC, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland that you submitted through the website have been entered into the database. They have been sent to Dr. John Cooley at the University of Connecticut and have been incorporated into their cicada database. A paper detailing the resulting distribution should be in press shortly. I will make an announcement when I have more definitive dates. I will also update the Mid-Atlantic Cicada map accordingly.
