The amazing yet somewhat creepy emergence of the Cicada is swarming up in the USA. Billions of Cicadas, which can be said to form part of the locust family, have spent 17 years below ground and have now emerged to mate.
Entomologists are excited and intrigued by the way these insects work. They have come up after hibernating for 17 years and are now calling out for potential mates so that they procreate.
