The Tuul Crib 7,339 #1 Posted June 30, 2019 The cicadas are out and I’ve just noticed the last two days outside my shop door these shells. What time of year do they come out in your area? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #2 Posted June 30, 2019 depends what type, there is a 13 year cycle and a 17 year. I think I remember reading parts of the mid Atlantic are expecting some of the 17 year ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 858 #7 Posted July 1, 2019 I know south western Pennsylvania fly fishermen were looking forward to their appearance, tying up some look a likes makes for great fishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,401 #8 Posted July 1, 2019 I haven't seen any shells yet, but I can hear a few outside now. They annoy a lot of people, but I personally enjoy sitting out on a warm summer night out in the country somewhere, listening to them and watching the lightning bugs. I know, I'm weird. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
