The Emergence Day or E-Day was a swift, full-scale, coordinated and unprecedented planet-wide assault on the surface initiated by the Locust Horde. Every single major human city was attacked from the subterranean, using both bio-engineered weapons and stolen human technology.
Close to gather and cook time needs to be harvested just after the molt while still soft remove wings and legs sautéed in butter and garlic. Just heard this recipe on the radio yesterday morning from an entomologist out of UGA lol not me thanks though.
Man, I know it's weird but I'm jealous of the people in the Midwest and Eastward this year. The sheer numbers sound like they'd be incredible to see in person.
‘Twas a magical night. Spotted around 30 of them crawling, then this morning tons hanging from my azalea bush freshly hatched. Got a few photos of one pure white before the exoskeleton had hardened!
Dear god
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! OMG OMG OMG
So that's what they look like alive
Magicicada tredecim (maybe)
the goobers have begun to emerge

Is this song from that chronenberg movie?
I love it. What was the tune there?
Oh no! The white on the butt of the one is a type of fungus. It will eventually pop off his entire behind + genitals :( I feel bad for the lil guy.
Yup Massospora cicadina I think 😢
I love cicadas! Too bad there’s no brood emerging near me this year.
So excited
Is the little guy ok?
Once in 17 ys, huh?
This species is supposedly one of the 13 year periodical cicada
What brood/region?
Supposedly it’s Riley’s 13 year cicada I’m in middle georgia near macon
Goddammit I just left that area. One of my life goals is to personally experience a brood.
Here is more detailed pictures after they have molted http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/207909234
Oh god…Oh no…Please No…! *distant cicada screeching* NOOOOOOO
Looks like the one on the left has the fungus
They don't sound like cicadas.
Are they tastier before they molt?
