There will be fewer cicadas this spring, but more than a trillion of the insects could emerge. The number may sound extreme, but the cicadas won't all be at the same place at the same time.
However, in 2024, they will emerge together in a true cicada invasion, with billions emerging all at once. The last time it happened was in 1803, 221 years ago! Can you imagine the buzz? When Will Cicadas Appear? The estimate is that cicadas will start to appear when the ground reaches...
Annual cicadas emerge on an annual basis, typically in May. Why is 2024 a big year for cicadas? In the spring of 2024, the United States will have the emergence of Broods XIX (“Great Southern Brood”) and XIII (“Illinois Brood”), two distinct groups of periodic cicadas that are set...

2021. That’s because this year, the emergence of the 17-year XIII and 13-year Brood XIX will overlap in some states like Illinois and Iowa. Scientists say that the cicadas will emerge from the ground when temperatures reach 64º. That means you’ll likely see them in the south first...
While scientists know the pee will jet out of the cicadas, they are unable to predict the full effect it will have once the two broods simultaneously emerge in April. It last happened in 1803, after all. LOOK: Here are the states where you are most likely to hit an animal ...
