Noise levels from the cicada’s emergence are expected to reach 105 decibels, scientists told the news wire . Cooley described the noise as “a singles bar gone horribly, horribly wrong.”  Regardless of the inconvenient noise, scientists said that it is a good sign that Brood X is surfacing from the underground in the midst of pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss because its emergence signals a positive sign for nature.  Other scientists say that people shouldn’t fear ...

A nearby yard yielded a rate closer to 1.5 million. And there’s much more afoot. Trillions of the red-eyed black bugs are coming, scientis...

They’ll be in 15 states from Indiana to Georgia to New York; they’re coming out now in mass numbers in Tennessee and North Carolina. When the entire brood emerges, backyards can look like undulating waves, and the ...
