[obol] Off topic: Portland area cicadas

[D.Max Smith]

Obol folks,

I have been hearing cicadas singing in and around Portland for the past few 
weeks and today I found several shed exoskeletons on large Doug firs at 
Shute Park in Hillsboro. The adults I have seen before are bumblebee size 
and orange and black. I have studied southwestern cicadas in the past and I 
would like to learn more about the ones here. Does anyone know what/which 
species emerge here? Or of any entomologists that could help me out?

Thanks,

Max Smith
