It seems that the link is incorrect.

Well, having taken a look at the second image all it shows is a map of the southern portion of Texas with red dots indicating where Q. gigas has been observed.
Yet, what is the point of this ? This is a worldwide audience. Nothing has been said about the species headlining your post.
I'm sorry to say this is all too vague to be of interest to anyone.

Re: Giant Cicadas
Good grief, trehopr. Gimme a break. There is some information here that somebody might be interested in. Would you prefer that I not provide any information whatsoever? That is unscientific.

Re: Giant Cicadas
The largest cicada species I've ever seen in my local area (North TX) is the Bush cicada (Megatibicen dorsatus) -

It seems I'm a bit too far north to be within the range of Quesada gigas, but I have occasionally seen a Quesadilla gigas, at restaurants.

Re: Giant Cicadas
Dave we can't access your email, so we don't really know if there is some extra information that should go with the link. Just posting a link without explanation is indeed confusing.

Re: Giant Cicadas
Thank you indeed Claude for summing up my sentiments perfectly.
My apologies Dave if you took my remarks in a bad way. I viewed your thread via my Android phone which has limited capabilities thus I only saw a Texas range map and a picture of the species --- nothing more could be accessed.
This is why it is important to provide a brief summary of any threads that are started because not everyone has the same computer and/or phone capabilities that others may have since this is a worldwide forum

Re: Giant Cicadas
I don't know much about this species of cicada, other than that they're big and very loud. Here's some more info:

Re: Giant Cicadas
I don't normally collect cicadas, but do have some specimens of Megapomponia imperatoria (Southeast Asia), just because it's the largest of the cicada species -
