I remember years ago they were called 17 year locusts.
What a life. They emerge and mate and die fairly quickly, only for their species to go dormant for another 17 years.
Actually there are different broods, some on a 17 year cycle, some on 13 year cycle.
Here in the DC area we have some cicadas every summer but brood X is due to hit Maryland, Indiana, Ohio and part of Pennsylvania. It’s a big one.
