TL;DR Summary

Trillions of periodical cicadas, with their loud collective song and unique emergence every 13 or 17 years, are about to invade parts of the United States in what experts are calling "cicada-geddon." This year, two broods will emerge together, creating a spectacle not seen in centuries. The bugs, which stay buried underground until they surface, will cover landscapes, creating a sight to behold. While they may cause some damage to young trees and fruit crops, their emergence is a natural wonder and a unique experience.
