Cicada Sightings?

[Connor Donovan]

Has anyone seen cicadas along the upper James or Jackson in the past couple of weeks?  I saw Andrew's report from a month ago but am curious if folks are still seeing them in that neck of the woods. 

Thanks!

I drove to Ohio last week. Trees in West Va and Pa had dead branch tips where the females had deposited eggs. It was mile after mile of brown tree branch tips. 

Looks like it all happened several weeks ago.

To echo Rob's post on Ohio cicadas, I was outside Cleveland for the week that overlapped July 4th and there were only a few left. It had peaked there a few weeks prior as the air temp needs to be above 90 degrees for 3 to 4 days in a row to trigger their arrival.

I was at the Jackson/upper James last weekend and can't report seeing any (or hearing any) around there.

This reminds of Al from Urban telling us about the 'predicted' cicada explosion a few years back that didn't end up panning out, and left him (and others) with a lot of large, black, foam bugs sitting around ;). 

I think we need to rest our hopes on a different organism that fish may key on if present in mass numbers......frogs?  You can't go wrong with a biblical plague right?  Plus, think of all the gutless ones Rob could be teaching everyone ;).

Watched a dog day cicada on the lake today. Nothing ate it. 

Neighbor Mike had his tiny bluegill eaten by 'Mary' right next to the cicada. We would have landed them if he hadn't had line wrapped around the but.

Alan was unfortunately completely immersed back in 2004 when Brood X came to town.  You’ve probably seen his blue/yellow/pink Brood X shirt around the shop, or from a distance as it’s easily visible.

He’s been waiting for it to happen again.  Since he has so much spare time to go fishing now, I’m sure he’ll use those big leftover foam cicada flies a bunch..  You know the Jackson had some bug bugs earlier already.

Made same drive yesterday. Was able to snap a few shots of the cicada egg laden brown branch tips:
