"Cicada Invasion: Unprecedented Emergence Threatens Major U.S. Cities"

A "cicada-geddon" is set to occur in the Southeastern United States as two groups of cicadas, including the largest geographic brood in the nation, are emerging this spring. These insects, which appear every 13 and 17 years, are set to cover the landscape in trillions, possibly quadrillions, and are a unique sight to behold. While they don't harm people or pets, they can pose a threat to young trees. The early emergence of these cicadas is attributed to climate change, and experts advise against killing them, suggesting protective measures for young trees instead.
