Brood XIII of the 17-year cicada, which reputably has the largest emergence of cicadas by size known anywhere, and Brood XIX of the 13-year cicada, arguably the largest (by geographic extent) of all periodical cicada broods, were expected to emerge together in 2024 for the first time since 1803.
During the brood's 2021 emergence, country singer Toby T. Swift released the novelty song Cicada Love Call in Nashville, Tennessee. The song, which Swift first wrote during the brood's 2004 emergence, compares to a cicada a woman who is trying to re-join her reluctant ex-husband after leaving him for another man 17 years earlier.

[52] [53] [54] A specialist predator with a shorter life cycle of at least two years could not reliably prey upon the cicadas; [55] for example, a 17-year cicada with a predator with a five-year life cycle will only be threatened by a peak predator population every 85 (5 × 17) years, while a non-prime cycle such as 15 would be endangered at ...
The double emergence of Broods XIX and XIII is rare, occurring every 221 years (when the 13-year and 17-year cicadas overlap, as 13 times 17 is 221).
Periodical Cicadas: The 2024 Broods. This year’s double emergence is a rare coincidence: Brood XIX is on a 13-year cycle, while Brood XIII arrives every 17 years.These two broods haven’t ...
A screenshot of the 2024 cicada emergence map shows where Broods XIX and XIII could overlap, according to Gene Kritsky, a cicada expert and professor in the Department of Biology at Mount St ...
Brood XIX includes all four different species of 13-year cicadas: Magicicada tredecim (Walsh and Riley, 1868), Magicicada tredecassini (Alexander and Moore, 1962), Magicicada tredecula (Alexander and Moore, 1962), and the recently discovered Magicicada neotredecim (Marshall and Cooley, 2000). 2011 was the first appearance of Brood XIX since the discovery of the new species, which was first ...
Brood XIX emerges from the ground every 13 years and Brood XIII every 17 years. This co-emergence only happens every 221 years. Brood XIX is the one parts of Mississippi will experience and the ...
