Two #broodxiv northern pharaoh periodical #cicadas (Magicicada septendecim) laying eggs. Sandwich, Mass.

It’s almost the end of brood xiv. There are still some calling but we saw many dead ones.
A black cicada with red eyes is grasping the trunk of a small tree. It is preparing to insert eggs under the bark of the tree. Behind it you can see another cicada on a branch doing the same thing.

A periodical cicada (Magicicada sp.) climbing a tall grassy plant on the left side of the blade. They are sort of peaking over the grass blade and we see a lot of the orange coloration on their wings and legs. Red eyes are as noticeable as always against the black head and body

A close up shot of the face of a periodical cicada (Magicicada sp.). They have a triangular black head with little black antennae and big red eyes at either side of their face. The rest of their body trails off out of focus but we can still see the blurry orange coloring on their legs and wings.

A periodical cicada (Magicicada sp.) in profile sitting on a leaf. Their translucent wings have orange veins and we can somewhat see through to the black abdomen. Their other body segments are also black. Their legs have orange highlights and their eyes are a saturated cherry red with black dots in the center. Teeny tiny antennae look like little horns.

It just doesn't really feel like summer without cicadas. And it's not every year that we get a chorus that is so gloriously deafening.

Brood XIV, I'm so happy you're here. And i know you're here for a good time, not a long time ❤️

Brood XIV has been providing the perfect soundtrack for our summer!

And if you've never heard it--it's pretty easy to imagine how the sound of thousands of cicadas would make anyone believe they'd angered god.

The 17 year cicadas here are something... 100 db at least, it's painful to my ears outside. It's like being a micro in a giant gnat swarm and they will just land on you clicking and screeching. #cicada #broodxiv

Guess what? Cicada! 🤣 My friend and I want to share this cool aggregate fossil with y'all for #RockinTuesday.

Photograph of an aggregate fossil. The rock is grey and there are impressions of fossils all throughout. Along the upper edge is a cicada, perched, totally chill.

Periodical cicada perched on the speckled stem of a poison hemlock plant. Leaves and blossoms are in the background and the sky is a sunny, bright blue. These cicadas emerge only once every 17 years. It’s remarkable being here in the middle of their emergence and I’ve grown ridiculously fond of them—saving them from puddles, letting them catch a free ride on me as I garden and hike, and gently helping them along when they dive bomb into my path. They’re awkward, lovable, and quite remarkable.
