It’s been two weeks since I spotted that lone cicada on my terrace and it looks like the coast is clear here in Park Glen (it’s also true that I didn’t go out for two weeks. But today I did, encouraged by the fact that I live in a garden community across from a creek and I haven’t heard a chorus or even single mating calls since the sighting). However, cicada choruses have been reported in several parts of the DC metro area including Arlington. From the information I’ve been able to gather, choruses are currently being heard near Shirlington (around Fairlington and Douglas Park), the Pentagon, and East Falls Church in Arlington. Other parts of the metro area where they’re chorusing are College Park, Takoma Park, Chevy Chase and Bethesda in MD, and Vienna, Merrifield, Falls Church, Annandale, Alexandria and Springfield in VA (I’m not sure where exactly within these communities, though. This is just information that I’ve been gathering from user-posted YouTube videos, comments on the Cicadamania Brood X stragglers thread and a couple of articles on The Washington Post’s website).
