I remember years ago, people called these 17 year locusts. Apparently cicada is the correct entomology terminology.
What a life. They gestate for 17 years, emerge to mate, and don’t live very long.

Brood X Millennials. After living in the basement for 17 years they emerge for a few weeks to scream, mate and die.

Yes, they were called 17-year locusts.
Then we corrected ourselves to 17-year cicadas.
