The brood emerging this years, Brood XIX, is a 13-year brood that stretches from southern Iowa to Oklahoma, through the southern coastal states and as far east as Washington D.C.
The emergence from Maryland to Oklahoma and Illinois to Alabama will generate trillions of bugs across those areas. The map below shows the cicada broods emerging this year: Brood XIII and Brood XIX.
These 17 states, which range from Oklahoma to Wisconsin to North Carolina and more, are seeing the trillions of cicadas emerging this year in a rare, double brood event.
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 ...
There are three species of 17-year cicadas, and four species of 13-year cicadas. The insects live almost their entire lives at a soil depth of anywhere from eight inches or more, according to Liesch.
Every 13 years Brood XXIII cicadas tunnel en masse to the surface of the ground in late-April to early-June of emergence years to molt, mate, lay eggs, and subsequently die off over the course of a few weeks. After the eggs hatch, the nymphs burrow back underground to further develop and grow for the next 13 years before emerging again ...
They begin emerging, mainly at night, once the soil reaches a certain warmth, crawling up hard surfaces - tree trunks, telephone poles, fences, trash cans and more - and molt into adult winged ...
Two different groups of cicadas are now emerging in states from North Carolina to Oklahoma and parts of Indiana are included.
