Map Shows Where Rare Cicada Event Not Seen in Over 200 Years Will Occur This Spring (msn.com)
The cicada double whammy
It was 1803 when Brood XIX, known as the Great Southern Brood, and Brood XIII, called the Northern Illinois Brood, last appeared together, according to The New York Times. The Illinois cicadas emerge every 17 years; their southern cousins pop up every 13 years.
The result will mean trillions of bugs emerging from the ground once the ground temperature reaches about 64 degrees, according to CBS.
Gene Kritsky, a retired professor of biology at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, said by late April or early May, northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, northern Georgia, and up into western South Carolina, will begin to see the bugs as they begin their weeks-long lives.
Next it will be the turn of central North Carolina, eastern Tennessee and northern Arkansas, followed by southern Missouri, Southern Illinois and western Kentucky.
The last phase of cicada eruption will take place in central and northern Missouri and Illinois, northwestern Indiana, southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa.
Shockley said cicadas do not bite and cause minimal damage to plants, but as they die off, they might leave a mess behind, according to the Times.
