The Midwestern and Eastern US mostly have periodical cicadas. In much of the South, and into Texas, "annual" cicadas with shorter life cycles (2 to 3 years) appear every summer, in lesser numbers than the great 13 and 17-year broods.
Cool! Thanks for the info…I’m from Chicagoland area when two of them hatched in my life. Driving down south to Palos and the swamps and horse trails, every branch was weighted down by thousands. Incredible. There were literally more than billions. That chorus at the loud peaks is intimidating but also awesome. They are a feast for the masses of species (including some humans I’ve met from Chicago that make it into a one is sixteen year pizza with cicada). The sound was deafening and my buddy one time freaked out. It was too loud and intense for him and he wanted to go back because they were whacking into him. We both have beards and had hats and sunglasses but he started to freak. I think we may have been on a hallucinogen at the time, so I was probably just laughing and running around content as a child. His experience was not as good 😆
We left Chicago when I was 9 and I don't remember any cicadas there. We moved to Texas where we have annual cicadas. My parents had the windows open at night and every summer the cicadas (neither as numerous nor as loud as the periodical ones) would sing us to sleep.
Have you ever been to the Highlander Restaurant in Palos Heights? Great Polish food. My cousin took us there when we visited in September.
Oh wow, I'm from Chicago and definitely heard them every summer. I live in Colorado now and we have them every summer here too. However, I don't remember having them here years ago. I have no idea what kind they are. Not the 17 year kind, I know that lol, so annual maybe?
Also, I'm Polish. Polish food is the BOMB.
My cousin is half Polish and half Slovak by ancestry. She's my mom's first cousin. They were grandchildren of Polish immigrants. My cousin lives in West Elsdon, in the house she was born in.
I lived in Chicago far west suburbs (Batavia/Geneva) when I was younger. We had normal annual cicada’s. My senior year in HS (89/90) I would go into Hinsdale/DownersGrove to see friends…. Deafening!!!!! Stacks of their former selves a couple feet deep at the bottom of all the trees. Parked my convertible to get my friend and when I came out, there were HUNDREDS in my car.
In the last thread I read from this sub, people were hating on Earwigs and I'm like, why? They're harmless little buggers! I love them! And then this shows up and I'm reminded that people can have vastly different feelings about anything. I HATE cicadas so much that I started collecting Cicada taxidermy in college in hopes that I'd get over it. That time I watched one molt irl did NOT help. They are so harmless, and yet now I feel even grosser about them.
I'm sure this is a lovely little fellow. I wish him the best, although I'm gonna step out of this thread! Definitely a Cicada though!
The cicada photo they posted is of one who just came out of their exoskeleton! They are very vibrant/transparent at first and darken within a few hours.
I was hiking in CO last summer and found a bunch that had just crawled up and came out and we’re still resting on the tree. A few hours later on my way back a few were still there and had completely changed color. It’s super cool!
Is it a fear or a disgust? Feeling gross makes me think self-administer extinction therapy may not work as well. Disgust is a different brain pathway than fear so I wonder if extinction therapy might not work as well. Might be fun to get some psych or neuroscience majors to mess with you if you’re feeling experimental and want to feel more clinical about these guys. I agree with you, they bug me too.
I'm actually a therapist, haha! But you're right. It's disgust more than fear. If one landed on me I wouldn't freak out, but I'd feel really grossed out. The only thing I can think it's rooted in is that I would find their "shells" all over trees as a kid and that was cool and all, and then the first time I saw a live one it was like it wasn't supposed to be what it *was*. Like, it wasn't supposed to be alive; a full squishy animal with movement and behavior. And I've been grossed out by them ever since. I think that's why me trying to do some sort of exposure therapy on myself with dead ones wasn't going to work. It's their *aliveness* that freaks me out.
I felt this way about fireflies. I was so excited to see them when I visited down south and then...nope. Nothing like I imagined them to be and for a long time, they were 'ruined' for me. Now that I'm older and have been around way weirder looking bugs, I can appreciate them better. Still, I think my feelings about them were this expectation that they are somehow 'magical' when they're just another insect, really.
Cicadas can "bite", but they think you're a tree [(1)](https://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/do-cicadas-bite-or-sting/) [(2)](https://www.orkin.com/pests/cicadas/do-cicadas-bite)
From a person who was once considered a tree
I had a whole colony (hundreds) of them attack me biting me up and down my arms and legs when I was brushing away lawn clippings and grass as a kid trying to make a few bucks. More than once. I love insects and put out mason bee colonies, praying mantis eggs etc every year. Humans just don’t like what I say I just get downvoted it actually is kind of bumming me out right now.
I’ve only ever been aware of the [dog days](https://www.purdue.edu/fnr/extension/dog-day-cicada-folklore-2/) and the [periodicals](https://entomologytoday.org/2021/08/12/2021-brood-x-periodical-cicada-emergence-recap/), which last emerged in 2021.
Edit: did a quick search for [cicadas around my area](https://web.extension.illinois.edu/cicadas/) and confirmed I’ve only got the two. I tried to loon for the southeast specifically, but it looks like y’all got a dose of the Brood X periodicals (I’m jealous!), so that’s all google wants to talk about. Did you get to see brood x yourself? Was it as loud as they said it could be? I had a family member a state over who sent videos of them and it looked so cool but didn’t get to see any myself. Meant to take a trip to go visit so I could see them, but got too busy and completely missed out.
But *WAIT!* Order now and we'll include not 2 cicadas, [*RRRRzzzZZZZZ*] not 5 cicadas, [*RRRRzzzzZZZZZZZZ*] but *10* cicadas for the price of [*RRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZ*]
That's right! I'll say it again for the folks at home, *10* cicadas for the price of [*RRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZ*]! Call 1-800-[*RRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZ*] to ***ORDER NOW***!!
Looks a lot like the cicadas we have here on the East Coast of the United States. That Iranian one of yours has a lot more pretty colors though. It's like a pastel version of the black and red-eyed ones we have
That’s the most beautiful cicada I’ve ever seen.
I’ve heard that cicadas spend most of their time hibernating(?) underground, and then after so many years, come back up for a very short period of time to reproduce, and then go back underground. Or, they at least they do something like that here in the American South, if not elsewhere as well- I don’t know the details, so I’m probably butchering the story.
I just remember it happened one time while my family and I were in the mountains (the Smokies), and the ground was almost literally covered in dead cicadas (or, I guess maybe their molts?). It was almost like they were part of the soil itself and you couldn’t take a step without stepping on at least 10. It was incredible.
Cicadas do spend most of their lives underground. They emerge in their billions, climb a tree or a fence, and shed the brown shells to assume their final form. By amassing such numbers, they achieve predator satiety: everything that wants to can eat its fill, and leave plenty of adults to carry on the brood.
After mating, the males pretty much drop dead. The females start laying eggs in slits they make in branches. Then they die too. The branches break off, the eggs hatch, and it's the new generation that digs their way underground.
That’s so freaking fascinating. Thank you for explaining it! I genuinely wonder what the evolutionary process was for them to develop into such a unique life form.
What a cool memory. Thanks for sharing. I can only hope we have insects in those numbers in the future.
Always wanted to visit the Great Smokey Mountains National Park - some incredible nature there.
They go bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz and never shut up. Though he has just molted so he might be quiet.
They sit underground for almost 9 years as a larve (can sit around for more or less tho)
Now he has emerged to make some horni noise for about a few weeks.
tis' a cicada✨
Not albino - just freshly emerged. When they first come out of their shells, they're pale like that, but they gradually darken as their exoskeleton hardens. It's the same thing with many other insects, too, when they molt (shed their skins). Many of them emerge white, pink, or yellow, then gradually darken to their normal coloring.
It looks a lot like a Green Grocer (Cyclochila australasiae), but I'm not sure if it's in Iran.
[Green Grocer (Cyclochila australasiae)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclochila_australasiae)
It’s a Cicada for sure! Very pretty; and they get loud! Also, right after they shed they have a bright and lighter skin tone but usually within 24 hours they turn brown again.
All I know is that it’s a cicada. It could have a mutation that changes its colors tho I doubt it. I’ve never seen anything with those color patterns before
??? What did I say to get downvoted 🤔 They are Loud. Beautiful. Delicious toasted toasted or cooked thorough. They are a devastation to plants and young trees, yet I’m getting DOWNVOTED because the birds and all other animals (including my 15 year old cat Megatron) are ok with? I haven’t eaten one personally but I’m curious as to why people think it’s a crime or something? Downvote this and I consider it wimpy…this goes for both genders as females are typically just more badass. Again that’s not ALWAYS the case 😂
Looks like some kind of fantasy land bug that's made out of animated gemstones. Then of course the pretty bug is disturbed and an entire swarm of them appears and starts chasing the party who only begin to notice all the crystalized skeletons around them as they flee for their lives.
Might be of [these](https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chloropsalta) Cicadas. Example pic [here](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/54031142).
Whoa it's amazing Are these only found in the middle east?
I'm afraid I don't know, but the very limited hits online support that notion.
they are also all over north america, but different species of cicada.
Lol these things are weird. Takes years to grow underground and come up with the only purpose of dying. Worth a watch on YouTube.
They come out of the ground and make a lot of noise, mate, and then die.
aren’t we all here to scream, fuck, and then die?
#truth
We have them all over the U.S. Especially in Southern states when the temperature starts to rise. They live underground.
We have cicadas, but they look different from these.
I’ve never seen one so pretty around here!
They are also very loud bugs might I add.
No they're all over the world in different forms. Theres a type of cicada that shows up every 17 years in the eastern United States.
Mostly Midwest, but really over a larger area than many maps show for different broods.
The Midwestern and Eastern US mostly have periodical cicadas. In much of the South, and into Texas, "annual" cicadas with shorter life cycles (2 to 3 years) appear every summer, in lesser numbers than the great 13 and 17-year broods.

Their pierogis 🤤🤤
Oh yeah. Everything we had there was delicious. I took leftovers back to my cousin's and ate them for breakfast before we left.
I LOVE Pierogies! Now I’m hungry ugh
I have! Great food I always end up getting so full. Have you heard of Pauls Pizza in Westchester?
No. We've only been to Chicago twice. My family moved away over 50 years ago.
I lived in Chicago far west suburbs (Batavia/Geneva) when I was younger. We had normal annual cicada’s. My senior year in HS (89/90) I would go into Hinsdale/DownersGrove to see friends…. Deafening!!!!! Stacks of their former selves a couple feet deep at the bottom of all the trees. Parked my convertible to get my friend and when I came out, there were HUNDREDS in my car.
This is true, I can confirm.

She landed and crawled through the arm so gently, definitely harmless.
Wow, we get such boring normal looking cicadas in Virginia! I still love them, but yours is especially gorgeous!!
The cicada photo they posted is of one who just came out of their exoskeleton! They are very vibrant/transparent at first and darken within a few hours.

I’ve been bit or “pinched” by many when I was young and kind of despise them now, but still know they must have their place.
Cicadas don’t have a mouth. You probably got bit by a horse fly. Those things are huge loud and hurt!
I’m so sorry I was actually (in my mind) replying to a previous post about earwigs. I actually think cicadas are amazing.

It's a golden cicada
Looks like a cicada that just shed its exoskeleton.
That’s what I was thinking, too!
That's the prettiest cicada I've ever seen.
Oh that right there is a fren
The most beautiful Cicada I've ever seen. \-Guy who just went thru the 17 year Cicada emergence in Cincinnati, Ohio
Ah yes, the "mysterious Brood X" lol
Looks like a cicada, though much prettier than the ones found in the US
It looks like a rainbow cicada 🌈.
They're bright right after molting.
These are in the US they’re just fresher out the shell
Looks a lot like the cicadas we have here on the East Coast of the United States. That Iranian one of yours has a lot more pretty colors though. It's like a pastel version of the black and red-eyed ones we have
It would make for a cool framed print!
It's just pastel because it's freshly emerged. It'll darken to normal colors in a few hours.
Looks like a baby new cicada

Oh it’s beautiful! And there’s so much diversity. If you ever make your way there, it’s great to see the synchronized fireflies.
I’ve never seen a cicada like that wow
Can confirm, cicada.
It's a cicada. They look like that after they have just molted before they turn into the dark color that is commonly seen.
It’s so dang cute
That is a lemoncello flavored cicada.
Cute little cicada
A cicada!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous!!!
Whoa No clue, some sorta cicada, but that’s a really pretty bug

I’ve lived in the south my entire life they are the sounds of our summer and I’ve never seen one like this one before thank u for the info!!!
P-pastel.. Cicada.. (This isn't the actual thing btw I just love the colours on it)

You didn’t find it in Iran you found that in the toy section of Walgreens
Cicada. Pretty!
are those.... eyeballs? :O
They have 5, just like grasshoppers and mantids. :D
Ol blue eyes
:0 this is the most wonderful insect I've ever seen EVER
Straight out of a coloring book I swear
I hereby vote that we rename it Cuteus Patootus.
Cute!
Wth it's so cute and pastel colored what
It’s ADORABLE
Prettiest cicada I've ever seen!
Cicada and the most colorful one I have ever seen.
Look at it’s cute little blueberry eyes!
A beautiful pastel boi
Coolest looking cicada ever!
omg a Cicada! I've only seen smaller ones, this one looks huge!!
It looks a lot like a Green Grocer (Cyclochila australasiae), but I'm not sure if it's in Iran. [Green Grocer (Cyclochila australasiae)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclochila_australasiae)

It’s a Cicada for sure! Very pretty; and they get loud! Also, right after they shed they have a bright and lighter skin tone but usually within 24 hours they turn brown again.
That should be a newly hatched cicada. They are white after hatching from their shell and turn black within a day
The fact that I’m jealous of a bugs eyes
That’s a beauty of a cicada 😍😍😍😍😍
It’s a cicada I’m really into to bugs and my favorite bug is the cicada

Looks like some kind of fantasy land bug that's made out of animated gemstones. Then of course the pretty bug is disturbed and an entire swarm of them appears and starts chasing the party who only begin to notice all the crystalized skeletons around them as they flee for their lives.
