I want to second Mr. Stantons information. We here in Arkansas have
large emergences EVERY year and do not have anything close to
substantial damage. It is indeed possible that damage caused by other
bugs are being blamed on the cicadas. In fact when discussing damaged
fruit trees cicadas are never brought up around here as potential
causes, and like I said, we have tons of them every year.
