Now that the Brood X cicadas are finally silent, you likely have noticed flagging branches on certain trees eggs were laid in. Take a look at this video explaining maintenance you may want to do on these twigs.

I’m leaving the dead twigs up until August, to allow time for the eggs to hatch. Any flags that fall off on their own are temporarily stored in a quiet corner of my yard. I don’t want to interrupt the cicada life cycle!
That’s a good approach. Thank you!
