Although not the main contingent of our 17-year cicadas, the brood V cicadas (Magicicada sp.) of 2016 are making their presence heard throughout the area around Baltimore. I managed to get one to pose for a class photo, and here are the results.

They will be around for a bit longer, so it's likely you'll hear them, if not see one, for the next few weeks.

Best wishes,
