As a relatively newly-certificated pilot (two years ago), I am curious
about the upcoming emergence of the seventeen-year cicada in the northeast
and midwest US later this May.

Are there any hazards to aircraft associated with these insects, either on
the ground or in the air?


I live in NE Ohio and we had the "invasion" of the 17-year Cicada's
just a couple of years ago. Thus, I wouldn't expect to see them here
(generally considered midwest) anytime soon. Can you point me to a
link with info regarding where they are expected to emerge this year?

Thanks,
Pat
