We had two populations emerge in Missouri last year and some of the trees
got a lot of flagging (especially where there were a lot of oaks). In some
areas the population was large enough that more than trees got hit with
cosmetic damage.
However, they do prefer certain species of trees. I went looking for the
list, but can't find it right now. I'll try to dig it up.

Look at this site for more cicada info.

Subject: 17 year locusts

Friends - This is the year for the 17 year locusts (I heard they were
actually cicadas), and I am wondering what effect they might have on our
vegetable crops here in SE Ohio. We grow 2.5 acres organic vegetables for
a CSA here. Anybody know?
