Swamp Cicadas out in front, and that probably won't change
Swamp Cicadas (Neotibicen tibicen) seem to do well everywhere that isn't too cold or too dry. They do well in city parks as well as groves of trees in rural farmlands. So, they'll probably "win" because they're findable in high population areas. "Swamp" is a bad name from a diagnostic perspective, as they are not limited to Swamps.
Northern Dog Day cicadas will likely overtake Resh this week.
IDing the "green group" can be vexing without location, and photos top, bottom and side.
There's likely a lot of N. canicularis, linnei, pruinosus, winnemanna and robinsonianus with wrong IDs on this site.
Exuvia (molts, skins, shells) remain difficult to ID.
Location helps.
Dark coloring on the wing bud is a good indicator for N. tibicen.
Dark rings on N. hieroglyphica.
Etc.
