Haven't seen any around here yet. But we did have a cicada killer wasp the size of a half dollar sneak into the last week. Yes I ran like a little girl and sealed off the room. It eventually hurt itself ramming a window and I killed it. I feel like I redeemed my Girly behavior.

The Airsoft pistol is already broken out to nail these suckers

It was in our family room which has very high ceilings and half-circular widows starting about 10 feet up, of which the damn thing wouldn't budge from. The damn things are so big it hurt it's wing and eventually fell down.  It was way out of my reach even with a tennis racquet, i do like the airsoft idea, although I'd probably never hit the damn thing.

Def. not a cicada, their wings are much broader.

Today in Summit.

I'm ready to call year of the cicada a bust.  I haven't seen or heard one yet. 

just wait, they are saying that the cold Spring has delayed them until early June. I expect they'll start showing up later this week or next.

my daughter(teacher) was on a feild trip with her kids at Englwood nature preserve this week and said the place was dripping with em. black ones with creepy red eyes....

They all are white when they make their final molt and the air oxidizes their skin brown/black within the hour

Wow. Didn't know. It's the only one I've seen that was white.

 

 

There are ton's of them out in Ramapo state park

Yes, they are edible and rich in protein assuming you are not adverse to eating insects, which most people are. Most other animals, like dogs, find them quite tasty. In actuality, you need to feel sorry for these poor criters, who spend 17 years underground, surface, mate and then quickly die--hell of a price to pay for getting laid.

Still none in ocean county, wah.

But my folks were down in VA two weekends ago and they were out down there

You missed your chance-the white newbs are a rare treat, very tasty, tender and juicy!

Wife came back from nj this weekend, pennsville has a lot ( Salem co)

Not as bad as predicted.

 

If you there are none in your area you might have to hunt then down in another.

Folks who have them can start a game preserve!
