Get Ready for the Cicada Invasion of 2024
Trillions of Periodical Cicadas to Emerge from Underground
Prepare for a Sight and Sound Spectacular in the Midwest and Southeast
Mark your calendars for April 29, 2024, at 12:40 PM EDT. That's when trillions of periodical cicadas will emerge from their subterranean slumber in the Midwest and Southeast. This historic event, which only happens every 17 or 13 years, promises to be a spectacle of nature.
Two broods of cicadas, known as Brood XIII and Brood XIX, will synchronize their emergence for the first time in memory. This rare dual appearance will create an unprecedented chorus of buzzing and clicking that will fill the air for weeks.
Prepare to witness vast swarms of these fascinating insects as they emerge from the ground, shed their exoskeletons, and take flight. Get ready for a sensory overload as their deafening song reverberates through the region.
