Deciduous forests

Notes:

I believe I caught the end of the emergence of Brood X which is one of the 17 years periodical cicadas while visiting Pa and going for a hike with my friend in Nockamixon State Park. I believe (but not 100% sure) in this location brood 10 can consist of 2 species, and from my photos I can't tell which I photographed. It may either be M. septendecim (Linnaeus' Periodical Cicada) or M. cassinii (Cassin's 17-year Cicada)
Here's some info about the 2021 emergence of brood X:
