Fox News
Brood XIV cicadas, the second-largest emergence of periodical cicadas, span from Georgia to New York. Experts call the insects a unique American phenomenon.
Two types of cicadas commonly exist in the Eastern United States: annual cicadas, which emerge every year, and periodical cicadas, which emerge every 13 or 17 years, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The insects reside primarily in trees and shrubs. Khloe Quill is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.

Broods are a way of categorizing cicadas based on this pattern, and less of a biological trait.
