The cicadas are coming! Many midwestern and southeastern states can expect a "Double Brood" of cicadas this year, which means two separate cicada broods will emerge from underground following their 13- and 17-year cycles. Because of their mathematically offset emergences, both broods only co-emerge like this once every 221 years!
Fortunately, the cicada broods won't overlap much geographically. . . but Illinois sure will be loud this year! More at Almanac.com/Cicadas
