Cicada Brood XIV has begun its emergence across the United States, marking a spectacular event 17 years in the making. Hatching has already been observed in states like Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, with predictions for more to surface soon. The cicadas appear when soil temperatures reach about 64°F and are expected to peak in early June. Known for their loud mating calls, these harmless insects cause alarm due to their large numbers, prompting the development of apps to help individuals navigate areas where they are emerging.
The cicadas are hatching as the soil in these states reaches a temperature of about 64° Fahrenheit. The swarm will reach its peak in early June.
For those who can't stand the sight of them, there's an app for that, and scientists are now giving everyone the ability to track (and avoid) Brood XIV's emergence.
