I saw (or heard) one!

When you see or hear cicadas emerge, we want to hear about it — and so do bug scientsts! Use this form, and we'll send your data to research scientist John Cooley and professor Chris Simon at the University of Connecticut Ecology & Evolutionary Biology department. They're tracking this once-in-a-17-year event for science.

Where you saw cicadas
The more specific you can be, the better. Example: "75 North Eagleville Road, Richmond VA" or "Intersection of US 44 and CT 195, Hartford CT". If you have a handheld GPS, click here.

Please make sure to use WGS 84 map datum. If you don't have lat/lon information, skip to the next step. We'll figure out your lat/lon based on the location entered above. Please do not use a geocoding service such as Google Earth to find your coordinates.
Is this the right place?
If the marker is in the wrong place, please drag it to the correct location.
It is extremely important that we place your record in the correct location.
The marker defaults to Latitude 0, Longitude 0 if we are unable to geocode your location.
