PrinceFrederickWx Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 This is definitely late vs. 2004. I finished finals the second week of May 2004 at UMBC and they had already been swarming around everywhere. People I know in central MD, southern PA and western OH haven't seen much of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, I kind of remember them starting relatively early here in the DC metro area, like early May in 2004. But I also recall that year was very warm in April/May so perhaps that's part of the reason. They also "ended" sooner, like not long after Memorial Day weekend, in early June. This year, I think it's been cooler leading into this month overall (i.e., more "normal"), so maybe that's been what's going on? I thought the normal time was mid-May to mid-June, there about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Went for a walk at about 9:00 last night and heard some buzzing here and there (and a TON of croaking). I assume it was the cicadas making the former racket, but can't be sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I saw on WTOP that some people in an old neighborhood with mature trees took shovelfuls of dirt and counted the nymphs, and came up with an estimate of 1 million cicadas PER ACRE. That is gonna be crazy. We'll visit family in Calvert a couple times to get away from the noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
