TOSK 640 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 New Jersey was supposed to get a huge cicada invasion in 2013. Didn't see many but I was able to capture one hanging out on one of my fig trees. The local paper, The Bergen Record printed it summer 2013. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
