We get these things EVERY YEAR! So what is the B.S. about a 17 year cycle?

Check out the periodical cicada broods web page. It's really interesting. It shows the 12 active 17 year broods and the 4 active 13 year broods, and which cycle each is on. It includes which year each brood comes out, how many, and a map of where each cyclical brood pops up. The ones popping up this year are brood II (2).

Here's the coverage map for this year's brood II (2).

Plus, the map for the much larger "great eastern brood" X (10) due again in 2021.

Now this is what I was thinking. Lots of different broods on different cycles. I hear these things every year in the
SE. We also have tree frogs yacking away each year too.
