Trillions of periodical cicadas are set to emerge across various parts of the US in what experts are calling the largest invasion in centuries. This event is particularly notable as it involves two broods of cicadas emerging simultaneously, a phenomenon last observed around 221 years ago in 1803 during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency. The cicadas, known for their loud buzzing, will emerge from the ground after either a 13-year or 17-year cycle, with Brood XIX and Brood XIII surfacing this spring.
