I live in the middle of the woods in southeastern pennsylvania. pray for me

They're out every year just every 17 years they come out in enormous numbers

Damn it. Are these bigger than the ones from 2004? Or are they smaller?

i LOVE how everybody freaks out and calls it an 'invasion'. Cmon guys, you get 17 more years without them, they dont bite, they are just annoying. They were here long before you.

That was Brood X. From what I hear, this group is larger.

Aint started in UPNY yet? how bout Jersey or maryland? Hell it was 36 F here last week.

REALLY COOL PHENOMENON!!!...consider yourself lucky if you get to see them!

When I first moved from NH to NC I saw one of these and took a picture because I thought I had found a new unknown alien insect :P After the flash went off the Cicada was apparently startled and let out what sounded like a loud screech and flew directly into the side of the house and knocked its self out haha!

I live in Maryland and I am ready for them!

That's pretty much what I did when I was 17 and they came out in droves up in MD, in 1987. In 1991 I moved to Florida where they don't live. But...we get hurricanes instead. Oh well.

I'm in northern VA

ive seen none down here in maryland yet :(

Still not here in Hudson valley New York but I don't know how I will survive this event.im afraid of ladybugs even!:(

nothing can evolve to live off their prime numbered lifecycle

I don't know why y'all are freaking out. You get 17 years free of them, they don't bite nor sting, they move nutrients around, and they are freaking adorable like come on calm yo selves. besides they were here before any of us technically we're the invaders :v

awww did I miss it

Holy crap I'm in the middle of Maryland -Good luck I love animals so I wouldn't hurt them

and we live in south Carolina and they came out

Im in virginia and there all over my back yard

We dont get those kind here. The ones here have green bodies and blue eyes.

If they where out in 2004 how is that 17 years???

Well clearly it's not even 17yrs. It's 2021 now and this was 2013 and the cicadas are coming out this year. But it's not been 17yrs. So maybe the bug are staggered to come out every 17yrs to that particular brood but not every 17yrs for humans

Excuse me while I go hide in my room for about a month 👍

nothing in PA yet.

They arent so bad but i wont be leaving the jeep out topdown this summer

Terrifying!!!

I got 20,000 copper BB's for them!

so far so safe in MD :D.

It was a different brood

Rockettes33 not yet!....but prepare yourself boy! When theres no more room in the dirt....or it warms up the Cicada will walk again!!

Short*

They just live to make eggs and then they die. Not the life I wanna live in such a shirt time.

Gots to get those nutrients moved the f**k around!

oh no not again!!!!

They're coming. Just you wait.

we're all gonna die

COME ON BIRDS EAT THEM!!!!

North Korea did invade after all...
