The Brood X cicadas will emerge in large numbers in the next few weeks (Credit: John Obermeyer, Purdue Entomology, Purdue University)

Fifteen US states, including New York, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, as well as Washington D.C., will soon be buzzing with billions, and perhaps even trillions, of cicadas. The noisy, red-eyed members of Brood X, which have been hibernating underground for the past 17 years, will emerge unannounced as soon as the conditions are right: the soil is 64 degrees, and on a night that's humid enough but free of wind and rain.

        Where I live, the cicadas aren't that bad, but there are a lot of their shedded shells around in the yard, I collect them since they're pretty cool
