CicadasThis 17-year Cicada nymph missed the party

I found this M. cassini nymph (judging by the fact this was the only song I heard in the area) on June 25, 2008 under a flat rock in my backyard on the far Southwest side of Chicago. It was a straggler from Brood XIII from 2007. I took this pic and let it crawl away.

Periodical Cicada Nymph
Hi Justin,
Thanks for sending us your photo of a “late” Periodical Cicada Nymph. It is not unusual for individuals to be early or late, and if enough members of a brood emerge in a different year and mate and procreate, a new brood may be created once they return to the 17 year cycle.
