This is the year! I am seeing many at Gorman. They lived underground feeding on the fluids from trees for 17 years. At the appointed time they burrow to the surface as a mature larva.
There are several pictured.

I found this one walking across a path on a rainy day. I am hoping for a timelapse of the molt. I am at two weeks and counting as I write.

I doubt they will win any beauty contests during their visit but they have a nice sound. (Look at the bottom of the page)
