I love this guy. "They've had a hard life! Don't DO that!" 😂
I love Cicadas ❤️! Nature's miracle, disappointing they are not going to be here.
When I was in grade school in the mid '50s there was a tremendous outbreak of these insects in the Washington area.
So they are *NOT* coming to Maryland?
Some of us with real phobias would really like to know! Just in St. Mary's county?
Yes, they're not coming to Maryland 🤗
@@IceLynne thank you!!!
They are already there, under the ground just waiting. Probably some under your house @@obcl8569
Awh man, I miss the nostalgic sound
Hunh? I thought it was 17 years! We just had em 2 years ago!
Seen a bunch jus last year here in Florida by my garbage can on a tree
There are annual cicadas too so they ARE around annually in smaller numbers but this year is supposed to be nuts
They are out right now in Charles County.
people ask why they are coming out after more than 200 years. I hope this helps to answer that question:
The closest I could come to answering “why?“ Is using mathematics : here’s your answer,
13 x 17 = 221 years
What this means is that every 221 years this particular brood of 13 year periodical cicadas emerge at the same time as the 17 year periodical cicada brood.
The last time this occurred was in 1803 & the next time they’ll emerge together will be 2245.
But in between those double emergence events the two individual broods emerge regularly by themselves either every 13 or 17 years
There are also 19 year periodical cicadas and of course the regular (non-periodical) cicadas that emerge every single year. take care and don’t worry I live in the middle of rural North Carolina and yes, the bugs are noisy and yes, very annoying but they’re very safe. They don’t bite. They don’t sting and they’re really really important for the environment. I live in an area of both woodland next to farmland, and they have been flying around for the last two weeks, throwing up a racket, but they haven’t hurt any of our crops nor have they hurt any of the trees around here… they’re just noisy
I cannot wait… I’m traveling to see Brood XIX In Tennessee. I’m from New Jersey..
**crosses fingers in hopes that they won't come to my area**
I am traveling to Springfield, IL to experience the brood overlap wish me luck haha !
Cicadas? My DMV has sloths 😂
are they coming to northern va??
We have cicadas every summer here in texas
lol at sw wisconsin along the mississippi river towns mayflies come out but at my hometown there we called them "bargeflies"
God knows...
As people move so does the insects and animals.
They are lying
They come out every year wtf
I know right? 😂 😂
😂 they’re not lying I promise you… there’s two different kinds of cicadas: the first type is the regular annual cicadas that DO certainly come out every single year and then there’s the second type (which they’re discussing in this news cast) and they’re called periodical cicadas.
I was taught that the periodical cicadas only emerged every 17 or 19 years. Then I just read an article in a scientific journal that stated scientists recently identified a new periodical cicada that had a 13 year emergence lifespan.
The entomologist she interviewed for this clip was being honest when he said, “it is possible with a 13 year brood emerging at the same time as a 19 year brood.; there may be some interbreeding between the two and we’re just gonna have to see what happens” that’s how science works a lot of the time. No one is lying you’re just seeing science in action.
"BIBLICAL".
Not true. The cicadas were in Virginia about 20 years or so ago.
they were in Woodbridge summer 2013 - they looked like huge flies- black Bodies, transparent wings
We had the cicada invasion a few years ago. The 17 yr cicada. We've had so much gentrification and deforestation....we'll be okay. lol ahahah
Eat ze bugssssa
What a misleading headline but well… it’s fox entertainment so obviously… they gotta entertain
All mainstream media sucks, it doesn't matter what channel and if you think it matters then you've been #Brainwashed
