      I assume there are some areas not highlighted that still have brood presence? The county I live in has very high cicada activity but it isn’t highlighted on this map.

      The problem with this graphic is that, in reality, the broods overlap geographically, and this kind of map can’t show that.

    3. Plus you have the every year cicadas that are pretty much everywhere in late summer. But, Brood X ain’t no joke, I live around Princeton NJ, and when those years roll around those little fuckers are everywhere and cover everything.
