Therefore I am interested in learning more about the cicadas we do have. I
would be interested in hearing about sightings and hearings (note this does
not refer to court proceedings) of cicadas in NS this summer. Good quality
pictures should allow identification to species. Has anyone seen a cicada
adult in NS this year?
A few weeks ago I wrote this piece for the Entomological Society of Canada:

PS For those of you who cannot hear Blackpoll Warblers, you will not be
hearing cicadas this summer.
