Cicadas are set to return this year in the U.S., but their numbers are not expected to be as overwhelming as they were in the spring of 2024, when multiple broods emerged simultaneously. Brood XIV ...
Brood XIII (represented by a brown/green color on the USDA map) consists of three species and has a 17-year life cycle, according to the blog Cicada Mania. This group will be seen in parts of Iowa ...
Brood XIV is among the 12 different broods with 17-year cycles. Its last appearance was in the spring and early summer of 2008, and will emerge again in 2025 and 2042.

In 1998, an emergence contained a brood of 17-year cicadas (Brood IV) in western Missouri and a brood of 13-year cicadas (Brood XIX) over much of the rest of the state. Each of the broods are the state's largest of their types. As the territories of the two broods overlap (converge) in some areas, the convergence was the state's first since ...
In 2013, the USDA Forest Service published this detailed map of the 15 periodic cicada broods in the U.S. and their emergence years between 2013 and 2029.
