<\/p>\nMAY 2009 UPDATE!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please report any Brood II (dark blue areas) Stragglers.<\/p>\n
Since May 7, stragglers of the 17 year Periodical Cicada Brood II are being reported in St. Mary\u2019s & Calvert counties, Maryland as well as many counties in central Virginia. These are straggling individuals of Brood II (see Brood Map) that will emerge in large numbers in 2013 in central Virginia and Southern Maryland (in the Middle Atlantic area). We would like to compare the level of emergence between this year 2009 and the regular emergence year in 2013. It is likely that if you have a few individuals this year in 2009, you will experience a larger abundant emergence in 2013. Please report any information and locations to us at this site as well as the Magicicada.org site:\u00a0 http:\/\/magicicada.org<\/a> (so they will show up on the map). Thanks.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget that our Annual Cicadas will begin to emerge and sing around the middle of June until the first frost in October:<\/p>\n 5-15-09<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony Marcino 5-14-09<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:\u00a0\u00a0 Sandra 5-11-09<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:\u00a0\u00a0 Ben County:\u00a0\u00a0St. Mary\u2019s 5-09-09<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:\u00a0\u00a0 Kyle <\/p>\n 5-07-09<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:\u00a0\u00a0 Brandy <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MAY 2009 UPDATE!!

\nDescribe cicadas activity:\u00a0\u00a0 I thought you guys might be interested to know that I observed several individual Periodical Cicadas at\/around my home in Hollywood this past Saturday (5\/9\/09).\u00a0 I saw the first one early on Saturday morning while birding for the May Count.\u00a0 I watched through binoculars as a North Cardinal tried to eat it.\u00a0 When he was through, I went to the spot and collected the cicada’s wings, confirming the ID.\u00a0 When I got home, my son showed me one that he found on our deck around mid-morning.\u00a0 Later the same day, I found one barely still alive under my barbecue grill.\u00a0 The bodies of all 3 insects were still fairly soft and moist, as if they had just recently emerged, although their wings were dry.<\/p>\n
