Cicadas are awakening 4 years early. It’s not a sign of the apocalypse but a scientific mystery

Cicadas are back four years early. Can't wait to see the media blame President Trump for this.

It’s not a mystery. It means that scientists don’t fully understand everything. Scientists are to blame, not nature.

Yeah, they really are coming out early. I wonder how the billions of individual cicadas know how to synchronize their early coming out party — maybe something in their shared genetic code was triggered somehow by unique weather patterns?

Our tree frogs have been much more active recently. Usually they are noisy in August and September. They were so loud the other night I had to close the window. And there were a dozen frogs in my daughter’s pool when she opened it.

It’s the Russians. They figured out to genetically engineer them to come out more often. And maybe they’ll get bigger and louder. There’ll be a new reality show— Nekked and Afeard Survivors where they have to subsist on cicadas. Al Gore and Jimmy Comey each put up money for the pilot.

Fake news, it not uncommon. While they all have a 17 year cycle, not all an insync with the same 17 years.

They can’t get any sleep because of all of the whining and crying and screaming by the Democrats.

How do ‘scientists’ know these cicadas are the offspring of the others?
When I was a kid, in school, we were taught that there were different swarms hatched at different times. There were seven year and other cycles...................
