Periodical Cicadas Genus MagicicadaObserver
stevecollinsDescription
Living in Florida at the time, my wife and I missed the last Brood X periodical cicada irruption in 2004. I have fond memories of it from its previous irruption in 1987.
This periodical cicada is Brood II in 2013, which has a more limited distribution. This photo was taken in a chinese food container light box.
