Two broods of periodical cicadas will emerge at the same time in May (Credit: Missouri.edu/ CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Sixteen US states, stretching from Maryland to Oklahoma and Illinois to Alabama, are bracing for the arrival of trillions of noisy cicadas. What makes the event especially rare is that two broods are emerging simultaneously. Brood XIX, comprising four species that surfaces every 13 years, and Brood XIII, consisting of three species that appears every 17 years. This unusual coincidence last occurred 221 years ago, in 1803, and won't happen again until 2245.

    I personally didn't find them anyoying. They where really fun to watch! They don't bite or anything and I even put a BUNCH of them on my head and face for a dare, and obviously, I survived.

        They are actually very cute . Many people thinks that it’s not, because of their annoying behavior or it’s color. That’s wrong..l
