A map of where two periodical cicada broods have been observed across the eastern U.S. shows the areas in which they are likely to emerge in the next few weeks.

Experts are predicting that the two populations, which have been hibernating underground for over a decade, will appear at the same time, carpeting an area from southern Wisconsin to the Carolinas with as many as a hundred trillion bugs.

"Experts say that Brood XIX, which operates on a 13-year cycle, and Brood XIII, which arises every 17 years, are set to appear simultaneously—a coincidence that was last recorded occurring in 1803 and is not expected to occur again until 2076."

Why do we need a map? We already know the 100 trillion bugs are headed to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California...

Since they come from underground, the real question we should all be asking is, “after they emerge, WILL THEY ALL BE VOTING DEMOCRAT???”

When my son was young we had a large Cicada emergence. They are quite loud. He asked what they were, and I explained they are insects. He then asked why were they laughing at him.

I remember brood XIX In 1973. I took my little brother fishing at Weldon Spring and gave him a rod with a hook and put on a Cicada. I turned around to get my rod and there was an explosion. The biggest bass I have ever seen took it and broke his line instantly. My brother was a devoted fisherman ever since.

I like our Brood X that we get in the East. Hoping to live to see/hear it once more.

The eastern Missouri and Illinois area in red, within that Cicada Map, was ALIVE with Cicada’s just 3 years ago.

What a coincidence!! It is also the exact number of jobs that the Brandon Administration has claimed to have created.
