They'll be here. I photographed some about five years ago coming out of the soil in my garden. I'll see if I can find the shots. If you have a tree full of them outside your window, you'll definitely hear them. They're loud. The ones that will come up this year are part of what is known as "brood X" (as in ten)

For anyone who lived in West Philadelphia 17 years ago: do we get these cicadas here? I know they usually inhabit (and eat) forests and wooded areas, but I'm not sure how densely wooded the area needs to be. Would Woodland cemetary qualify? How about Bartram's? How noisy does it get when the cicadas are out in full force? -- Matthew Snyder Philadelphia, PA ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
