Insect plague: This is the sound after billions of cicadas emerge in the US

There’s the 17-year-group called Brood XIII, which is concentrated in northern Illinois (brown on the map below), and the 13-year clutch, Brood XIX, which will emerge in southern Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and throughout the Southeast (see them in light blue on the map below).It’s the first time since 1803 that these broods have emerged together.

Periodical cicadas are unique insects that have a 13-year or a 17-year life cycle, most of which they spend underground. They come to the surface in groups that scientists call broods.

Each brood with its descendants is named in a Roman number. This year, Brood XIX and Brood XIII are emerging together. The last time these particular broods emerged in the same year was two centuries ago in 1803.

The unusual co-emergence has led to high numbers of cicadas in many parts of the US.

This is what they sound like…

  2. The last time it happened was 1803!!! But it has happened before. So, what is the big deal? It must be a slow news day.
