Cicada Chorusing Videos
About the Chorusing Video Category
Chorusing is when multiple male cicadas of the same species come together in a general area to set up "aggregations" of singing. Chorusing male cicadas sound quite different from individual calling males of the same species. While it is generally known that some species (especially Tibicens) do not intentionally set up chorusing aggregations, when more than one individual are in the same area an unintentional chorus starts.

Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2007-06-04
Description: While visiting Sherman, IL during the 2007 Distribution Mapping Project, I stopped outside an exclusive golf club to record another aggregation of M. cassini males calling from the surrounding trees in the parking lot. Thank goodness the place was closed and the parking lot was empty.

Brood XIII M. septendecim chorus
Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2007-06-02
Description: In 2007 during the Brood XIII periodical cicada emergence, my friend Joe Green from Florida and I were surveying the periodical cicadas at Del Mar Woods, part of the Lake County Forest Preserve where this video was taken. It was early in the emergence and the cicadas were not up to swing but you can make out the distinctive "UFO" sound of M. septendecim.

M. cassini aggregation in Indiana 2007
Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2007-06-01
Description: This video is of an aggregation of M. cassini calling in a single tree in a neighborhood in Crowne Point Indiana. I had to travel nearly three quarters through the state of Indiana in order to find indications of Periodical cicadas. While I couldn't cover the entire state, there may be indications further south and West of Crowne point that there are still healthy populations but I won't know that for another 17 years. Historically, in Indiana Brood XIII used to cover a much larger geographic area and used to be found in Michigan but they have been extirpated from that state. I should know, I spent a very long time in Michigan trying to find them!

Tibicen lyricen and Tibicen tibicen calling
Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2006-08-05
Description: During survey work for Tibicen tibicen in Connecticut in 2006, I managed to capture the calling songs of Tibicen lyricen and Tibicen tibicen in Windsor, Connecticut at the Loomis Chaffee school. I hate the sound of my voice in this video, this is why I hardly ever speak in videos. Tibicen lyricen - also known as the "Lyric Cicada" to me sounds like a droning air conditioner and Tibicen tibicen is an easily recognizeable sound because it is used in a lot of thriller and horror movies.

M. septendecim Chorus Indiana
Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2006-06-01
Description: After three quarters through the state of Indiana, I managed to stumble upon a very small chorus of M. septendecim. I found a small park many miles outside Valparaiso, Indiana called "Stony Run County Park" In LeRoy, Indiana. It is part of the Lake County parks system. This place was approximately 10 miles off of Route 30 west in Indiana. It took me around 20 minutes to get there.
