You can find baby cicadas anywhere there are cicadas, but it is prime time in the United States in locations where Brood XIV emerged (2025), or Brood X stragglers in the Maryland and Princeton NJ areas. Check your branches for babies.

Got cicada flagging form Brood XIV? It not as bad as it looks. Most trees bounce back after a hard core cicada pruning.

There's also an iNaturalist project to document flagging
