After 17 years, they're finally coming back. "Colossal numbers of cicadas, unhurriedly growing underground since 1996, are about to emerge along much of the U.S. East Coast to begin passionately singing and mating as their remarkable life cycle restarts." They are aparently supposed to swarm this spring from Georgia to New York. Scientists say that the theory behind this incredibly spread out life cycle is to have so many cicadas hatch at once that the predators cannot kill them all no matter how hard they try.
I love cicadas. I cannot wait to hear them and watch them this summer. It's always fun to watch a cicada molt.
