People in the South and Midwest will have a particularly noisy summer, as two dueling cicada broods emerge simultaneously for the first time since 1803.
Cicadas return to Middle Tennessee later this year and we're already seeing signs that they're preparing to emerge. According to local entomologists, it's predicted to be a noisy May, as a group of periodical cicadas makes a return.
It will be the first time in 221 years that two types of cicadas, brood XIX and XIII, have risen from the ground at the same time.
A rare emergence of both 13 year and 17 year periodical cicadas are coming to Oklahoma in late April/May.
