I'm a Brazilian animal enthusiast and I can't wait to see any footage of this event!

This is going to be fishing at EPIC proportions.

I woke up to use the restroom around 6-6:30 this morning, I could hear them. I heard some unusual sounds. I just stood there in awe. As for them landing on me, different story.

Makes me happy to be on west coast, the cicadas eventually end up here but there are way less of them.

Texas here. We have them now. They are lot larger than the ones we get every year. The red eyes caught my attention. I have been taking pictures and trying to video them.

Hi! I'm portuguese and we only get normal cicadas. But I've learned about these in a BBC documentary with Sir David Attenborough. One of the things they filmed was the feast forest animals had! They gorged themselves to the brim!
They only come out every 17 years, welcome them well. Apart from everything cicadas are not poisonous, a bit noisy yes, but not harmful to us. Wild animals need them, don't use insect sprays.
Best wishes to all from Lisbon Portugal.

This will be interesting. I am doing a month on the applachian trail in May. I am bringing some ear plugs so I dont have to hear their booty calls when I am trying to sleep.

I have tinnitus and get the cicada sound all the time. It’s soothing to me, especially when I’m falling asleep at night. The long high tone though is annoying. I prefer cicadas lol

Incidentally we have periodical cicadas in the North Eastern part of India which come out in a leap year, which means after four years. 2024 being a leap year; they are already there.

[Blizky]

Can they interbreed? They looks like same species

[davidfromamerica]

Cooked correctly they are better than eating Popcorn.

Amazing creatures… live for some weeks on earth above the surface and thirteen or seventeen years underground in the same earth. Emerge to fulfil one of the tasks of their life, to reproduce and lay eggs besides changing their physical identity. The time period below surface is also a life, though different from that what we perceive as life.

[Jazzie]

How can we make them stay underground 😮😬

[nathanstrother]

Did you know there are wasps that actually eat cicadas preferably named Cicada Killer what they do is the females catch cicadas with fast speed then they use their stingers to put the cicada in a state of paralysis while the wasp takes it to its nest now the cicada isn't dead it's just can't move because it's in a state of paralysis the once taken to the nest which is underground the female wasp lays an egg and flies away while the male fertalizes it when the egg hatches the larva eats the cicada from the inside out so the next time you see a cicada watch out for the wasps that eat them

[thomas]

Yea but but this is the first time in history thet both meet each other at the same time. What happen when they mate? And babies are four times bigger and louder.

[Loner_autism]

I just have a hard time understanding a creature just born to mate- then they die.

[danielmonroe]

They may come as early as next week read about them there will be trillions for 3 months lots of articles on you tune so fyi friends

[larrywallace]
