Cicada Safari: Map the 2021 Emergence of Periodical Cicadas
Cicada Safari is an Android application developed by Mount St. Joseph University and available for free. It falls under the category of Education & Reference and aims to map the 2021 emergence of periodical cicadas.
The application is designed to help users record periodical cicada emergences, which have been critical in verifying the cicadas' long life cycles and the relationships of the broods to each other. With Cicada Safari, users can submit photos of the cicadas they spot, which will be used to determine the range of Brood X, the largest of the 17-year cicada broods. The application is easy to use and provides an opportunity for users to contribute to scientific research.
