Beware of Cicadas?
I was at Home Depot getting a new chiminea when we saw this sign. It seems like fear mongering to me. I havent even seen one here and as the sign says they only come out ever 17 years anyways.

If memory serves, I remember reading that Western New York doesn't have cicadas.

We have cicadas I have seen them but maybe not the 17 year ones.

What I remember is that Brood 2 follows the Hudson Valley up to around Albany. Here's a map of where Brood 2 is expected to emerge :::link::: I think Rochester gets a different brood. Since you grew up around here, if you tell me that you seen 'em, I believe you.

Exactly, they haven't been around in 17 years because that's their incubation period, as I understand it. This year there are supposed to be a gazillion coming out at one, from NY to North Carolina. It's been all over the news.
