Trillions of cicadas about to emerge across US
Fox News
Within days, a couple weeks at most, the cicadas of Brood X (the X is the Roman numeral for 10) will emerge after 17 years underground.
In maybe a third of a square foot of dirt, the University of Maryland entomologists find at least seven cicadas -- a rate just shy of a million per acre. A nearby yard yielded a rate closer to 1.5 million. And there's much more afoot. Trillions of the red-eyed black bugs are coming, scientists say.More Related News
