The 2021 emergence of Brood X periodical cicadas Magicicada spp. (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in Georgia, United States of America.

The US state of Georgia includes the range of several periodical cicada broods and is the southernmost state in which Brood X periodical cicadas emerge; however, no research has focused on this brood in this state. We used reports of sightings on social media, communication with the public, and our own searches to determine the geographic range in Georgia and timing of biological events. Both adults and exuviae were identified to species to determine the species makeup at those locations.
