This week’s cicada challenge, asking you to order a list of places based on periodical cicada emerge years, was more time-intensive than most. I am happy a number of you put in the footwork to research an answer.
I assembled the question using the Cicada Central database and the magicida.org collection of emergence maps, and these would have been useful in researching the answer:
Hartford, CT 2013
Charleston, WV 2016
Cayuga, NY 2018
Indianapolis, IN 2021
Kenosha, WI 2024
Morehead, KY 2025
10 points go to Jesse Hardin for getting the correct answer first.
