Billions of Brood XIV cicadas expected to emerge soon, where will they be buzzing?

  • Brood XIV, a group of periodical cicadas, will emerge this spring in multiple states.
  • These cicadas, which last appeared in 2008, have been developing underground for 17 years.
  • Gene Kritsky developed the Cicada Safari app to track and map cicada sightings.
  • Kritsky stated cicadas typically emerge when soil reaches 64 degrees; over 128,000 photos were submitted last year.
  • The emergence can benefit soil aeration and provide food, but egg-laying can harm young trees.
