"Massive Emergence: Trillions of Cicadas Set to Invade the U.S. in 2024"
TL;DR Summary
A trillion cicadas from two different broods, Brood XIX and Brood XIII, are set to emerge in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States at the end of April, marking the first time since 1803 that these broods will appear together in a rare event known as a dual emergence. This phenomenon is expected to cover a roughly 16-state area and is not expected to cause harm to humans, as periodical cicadas do not bite.
