I've only seen one thus far on my daily walks, but there are scattered individuals audible as well. There is nothing like the 'brood of the century' hype that was widely posted in the media. In fact, thus far it is a pretty spotty performance, even compared to last year. I think they stayed south of us. Likewise the hot summer that was predicted went west of us lol.

But even those seem to be coming later than they used to. When I first moved to long island during the 80s they consistently came in the first week of July (80s-00s). Over the last decade or so, they've come later, in the last few days of July. I wonder why this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that little ones sad song, cicada and celibacy will have to rhyme. As always … Afaik, they do actually eat, unlike some other adult insects, so they can last longer than you might think Still, appreciate the mental image of a lonely cicada belting out its courtship song into an empty void.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, thus far it is a pretty spotty performance, even compared to last year. The ones we hear now are the run of of mill cidadas that are around every year in mid to late summer. I read somewhere the much hyped, 17 yr cycle ones are not very prevalent in/around NYC anymore for whatever reason. Increased development, espcially in the suburbs probably. Every new sprawling condo complex or houses and its accompanying parking lot kill some off when its time to resurface. That happens everywhere though so any other factors I dunno. There are more as you go south of NYC, espically by the time to get to DC area, and west to PA as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be an issue this time. The upcoming heat wave will easily be the longest and possibly hottest period of the summer. Models already showing near 600 heights and upper 90s for next week and we know things tend to trend hotter as we get closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heights do not look that impressive to me considering the high temp models are spitting out. Warming climate I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
