Count Down to Cicadas!

 If the periodical cicadas are on time, we should hear the first of them a month from today.  Be the first to report them in your area by sending an email to insects@iastate.edu

 

You can help the national periodical cicada survey by reporting your sightings to Magicicada.Org where you can also read more about Periodical Cicada Brood III, including a report from the previous emergence in 1997.
