They will be upon us soon. Everywhere. Nothing and Nowhere will be safe.

For some of you, this will be the last time you see them.

Looking at the maps, Brood XIX does not seem to reach this far up and into NoVa. Looks like the closest is maybe King George or Caroline counties.

Now if you want a cicada freakout, think back to 2004 when Brood X appeared. They were everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. My dog would eat them like candy. Made for awful poop cleanup duty.

They are already here. Living under the ground waiting to emerge.

This particular brood is the largest of them all and will reach up to Maryland.

Blessed are the murderous.

As usual, Pinhead has to give an opposing answer that is usually biased or misinformed. Check this out:



The Great Southern Brood (XIX)


http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/highlights/periodicalCicada.html

The Great Southern Brood has a 13-year cycle and last emerged in 1998. Most of this brood is on the Illinoisan-age glacial plain. Brood XIX also occurs in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. They will emerge during 2011

Blessed are the murderous.

Oh look, Maryland has an official website just for insects.


http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/01glance/insects/html/insects.html


Brood XIX is the only 13-year brood in Maryland, and in 2004 was only recorded in St. Mary's County

Blessed are the murderous.

That does not disprove anything I said. Virginia is a large state with significant variable climates and zones. What happens in Brunswick County may not happen in Fairfax County.

Every map that I have seen on the Brood XIX shows the emergence to be situated south of the DC area.

And, your reference to its appearance in St. Mary's county seems to reinforce that fact and the statement that I made earlier which was "maybe King George or Caroline counties". These counties are, surprise, surprise, right across the river from St. Mary's county.

If you had said that they have been found in Montgomery or Price Georges counties, then I think there would have been more relevancy.

See, now this map you hotlinked portrays a different range than the map you posted at 3:57. Please keep a consistent answer.

They are consistent. Neither of them show any range in the DC area.

Yeah, definitely different areas. Before you were certain that they weren't in Maryland, now you say they are. flip flop flip flop

Provide the quote where I stated that I was certain that they would not be in Maryland.

You posted a map that you thought supported your claim that the insects wouldn't be anywhere near northern Virginia or Maryland.

Now besides flip flopping, you are backpedaling.

I said northern virginia; I said nothing about Maryland in that quote. My reference to Maryland in that post.

You need to lay off the afternoon hooch.

Cicadas are freaking awesome. The last time they were in town, it was like an alien invasion at night. The sound was incredible, almost electronic and...everywhere.

I looked at the maps and superimposed them. They're actually in relatively close agreement - with the exception of a gap in Mississippi which seems odd.

Here ya all go for your consideration.

No, look at Maryland, look at North Carolina, Georgia, these maps show very different ranges. Nice try though.
