It's over 2,000!

We're not fully through the third season but we have recently hit the 2,000 observation mark for this project! WOW!

A big thanks to everyone who has contributed so far to the project. I cannot stress how important it is to collect observations over multiple seasons.

These observations are important data for us to understand distribution and emergence patterns around the Greater Sydney Region, as well as understanding a bit more about cicada-plant interactions and preferences, particularly around more urban areas.

We're not through with the 2017/18 season, however. There are still quite a few species calling around the region. February and March are looking like keeping the good season going.

And don't forget you can still order copies of my Sydney cicada photo guide on eBay here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/122908078250

We have also recently launched a website for our cicada project: "Cicadarama" (www.cicadarama.com), of which the Great Cicada Blitz project falls under. The website is still a Work in Progress, but you can we have some exciting things in development! We also have links on the site to the photo guide book and some neat cicada merch. All funds go towards our cicada research and the development of new resources!
