They most definately do thrive in NM, regardless of what the maps
show. They LOVE our Cottonwood trees and often haunt our parks and
along the Rio Grande as both have loads of Cottonwoods. Those maps
are probably derived from some idiot who thinks NM is a foreign country!

We both DO have other cicadas that show up later in the summer, every
year.
