Cicadas typically appear in 17-year cycles, though some cicadas operate on a 13-year schedule. Cicadas of the same life cycle are classified in different "broods." This year's group will be known ...

[5] [17] [25] Emergent cicadas were observed in western North Carolina during mid ...
Following a 17-year period of underground development, periodical cicadas are set to burst above ground in the coming days and weeks. Here they come: 17-year cicadas to emerge in 3 states this ...
In outbreak years, the cicadas do significant damage to the trees on which they lay eggs, especially saplings. The female cuts a slit in a twig in which to insert her eggs and this often causes the shoot to droop and defoliate. In larger twigs it may allow entry of disease organisms. The burden of feeding of the nymphs is also considerable.
