Interesting, Maybe Okanagana genus

Unusually Heavy emergence
I just received an email indicating that O. synodica is emerging quite heavily in Southern Alberta Canada, it would be interesting Scott to see if these are emerging heavily in Colorado.
It has been reported that some Okanagana species of cicadas are known to be "Proto-periodical" with heavy emergences every 9 years and with smaller emergences yearly.
