Brood X is almost here. Billions of cicadas to emerge in eastern US
Love is in the air this spring in the eastern United States, where billions of cicadas will soon appear in the biggest emergence event since 2004.
The insects are part of a group called Brood X also known as the Great Eastern Brood which is expected in a geographical range stretching from Tennessee to New York.
These cicadas have been subterranean for 17 years, tunneling and feeding beneath the soil. When they are back above ground, finding a mate will be, understandably, a top priority. The loud, buzzing drone cicadas make is actually a mating song emitted by male insects, flexing a drumlike organ called a tymbal.

But the vice president did call the Brent Spence “a very important bridge in America” and said she’s sure there will be “a lot of conversation about its qualifications for some support out of the American Jobs Act.”
CINCINNATI â Along with the snow in Ohio, some records have fallen as the state got some arctic weather in April.
Toledo saw its largest late-season snowfall Tuesday, recording 5 inches. Temperatures early Thursday are expected to dip into the mid-20s and approach historic lows.
The National Weather Service recorded 2.3 inches of snow Wednesday at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Kentucky, topping the 1901 record for April 21 of 1.5 inches.
Forecaster Allen Randall in Wilmington said a deep low-pressure system moving across the Ohio Valley on Tuesday evening created the conditions for the late-April snow.
âOf course this is a rare event,â Randall said. âThe fact that it fell at night helped the snow accumulate.â
