Off to a great start!
Spring has officially sprung, and adults have begun to emerge in the southeastern US! Three species (tredecim, tredecassini, and tredecula) have been confirmed from SC and GA, so remember to get those all-important shots of the underside of adult, fully sclerotized cicadas if you’re keen on species ID. Check out cicadas.uconn.edu/species for more info on the key characters, and to hear recordings of calls. (A few calls have already been reported on Cicada Safari!)
I’m currently traveling in northern Greece (checking in from the very pretty mountain town of Metsovo at the moment), so my apologies if I’m slow in answering questions or messages. It’s not easy to iNat from a tiny phone screen 😅
