Perspective: Billions of cicadas partied last year. A few got the date wrong.
. More than half a million photos were uploaded by citizen scientists to the app during the 2021 emergence of Brood X. So far this spring, Kritsky has had straggler cicada sightings from 11 states.Late cicadas have been noted in other years, but the app — something that wasn’t around in 2004 — makes it easy to track and report sightings of tardy bugs in all their manifestations.
Mina followed Kritsky’s cicada coverage last year and knew there might be some outliers this year. She started combing her Chestnut Grove neighborhood in late April and saw her first evidence — a nymph skin — on May 11.“First I found the nymph shell that he had shed. I took a picture of that and posted it. I got really excited,” Mina said.“I'm really, really into the cicadas,” she said. “I deliberately go out every day looking for them.
“If for some reason, because of the local weather, a tree didn’t do well and didn’t have a large leaf set one year, the cicadas feeding on those roots might not count that as a year,” he said.
