Today my neices 5 + 4 years old found a giant one clinging to the window sash of a large many windowed sun room and brought it to me, it had the 3 jewel crown and gleaming gold wings and body shimmer on the moss green body color,it was exhausted but intact it seems to have fled from a bird to the safety of the house leaving it in full sunlight, the girls mother misted it with water it revived but it fell out of a potted palm. After letting the great bug rest it livened and wished to go out so to the river and onto a giant maple where it blended perfectly with the bark and moss color as it climbed back to its kingdom.We took a photograph this was a really large cicada and totally unconcerned being with us a fascinating summer encounter<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Wednesday August 1, 2012 12:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Email:<\/strong> mariannegordon@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><strong> Name:<\/strong> Marianne Gordon<\/p>\n<p><strong> State:<\/strong> md<\/p>\n<p><strong> County:<\/strong> Anne Arundel<\/p>\n<p><strong> City:<\/strong> Davidsonville<\/p>\n<p><strong> Location:<\/strong> 1640 Rossback Road<\/p>\n<p><strong> GPS Coordinates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Describe Cicadas activity:<\/strong> Our yard is full of them&#8211;the whole two acres<\/p>\n<p><strong> Other comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Sunday July 29, 2012 05:45:34 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Email:<\/strong> dvosper7682@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><strong> Name:<\/strong> david<\/p>\n<p><strong> State:<\/strong> vosper<\/p>\n<p><strong> County:<\/strong> baltimore<\/p>\n<p><strong> City:<\/strong> middle river<\/p>\n<p><strong> Location:<\/strong> 21220<\/p>\n<p><strong> GPS Coordinates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Describe Cicadas activity:<\/strong> Heard a low-level of singing and observed some tree damage simular to the 2004 emergence.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Other comments:<\/strong> July 29, 2012, 8:40 PM.
