Starting about a week ago and building to max frenzy in the next few weeks, a great cicada emergence is upon is. It's a rare event where two groups are waking up during the same season. There’s the 17-year-group called Brood XIII and the 13-year group called Brood XIX. Meaning there will likely be billions, if not trillions, of the insects. It’s the first time since 1803 that these broods have emerged together.
North of us will be the hardest hit but already you can hear quite the din during the day as they sing their buggy song.
They come out of the ground as these brown looking things, but then shed this outer skin and emerge all white. There's these initial shells on about every surface outside.
