Cicadas are Coming!

Prepare for the Brood XIX Emergence in 2024

Trillions of Magicicada periodical cicadas will soon emerge from their 13-year slumber

Get ready for an incredible natural phenomenon! More than 3000 species of cicadas inhabit our planet, but only nine are periodical. And this year, Brood XIX, the largest of all periodical cicada groups, will emerge from their 13-year dormancy. Mark your calendars for April 29th, 2024, because billions – perhaps even trillions – of these fascinating insects will surface, creating an unforgettable spectacle.

Periodical cicadas spend most of their lives underground as nymphs, feeding on the sap of tree roots. They emerge only once every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. This year, it's Brood XIX's turn to take center stage. Found exclusively in North America, periodical cicadas are a captivating sight to behold. Their unique life cycle and synchronized emergence make them a scientific marvel and a true wonder of nature.
