About this title

Synopsis

Every seventeen or thirteen years, millions of cicadas rise from the soil in the eastern United States to fill the air with their noisy song. But 2024 is a unique cicada year: periodical cicada Broods XIII and XIX will emerge simultaneously. The last time these two broods emerged together, Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States. A Tale of Two Broods: The 2024 Emergence of Periodical Cicada Broods XIII and XIX discusses the natural history, evolution, behavior, and distribution of periodical cicadas and surveys the history of these two broods extending back to 1803. It is a perfect starting point from which to experience these fascinating insects in 2024.
