Cicadas are commonly heard in the dog days  of summer, in the back woods of
Yarmouth County, at least in the Lake Annis area.  Don't think I have ever
heard them near the coast, though.  Species?  Good question!  One more item
to study!

Current Museum holdings for Nova Scotia are Tibicen pruinosa and Okanagana
rimosa.

 

Limited geographical distributional data (mostly Valley and Cenral NS) with
a few outliers, but most are from late July to mid August.

 

Any new data/ specimens  shared (or otherwise) always appreciated.

John, David, et al.

I am not going to wade in on what may be happening to bird and cicada
populations where the periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) are emerging in
the northeastern US, but wish to focus on cicadas in NS.

I am very interested in hearing about people's sightings and hearings of our
local cicadas.  Andrew Hebda and I exchanged a few emails about the cicadas
in NS.  We both agree we know very little about the species that live here
(I think it is three species, but it may be 1 and it may be 5).  We know
less about abundances across the province.
