"The Great Cicada Invasion: A Trillion Insects Set to Emerge"

More than a trillion cicadas are set to emerge across the Midwest and Southeast this spring, marking a rare event that occurs once every 17 years. The insects, which spend the majority of their lives underground, will begin to surface when the soil temperature reaches around 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite their loud buzzing, cicadas are harmless to humans and are beneficial to the ecosystem, providing aeration to the soil and serving as a food source for various animals.
