The Year Of The Cicada
After 17 years underground, millions of periodical cicadas (Brood X) will emerge throughout the eastern United States in late spring 2004.
Those who experienced the last emergence in 1987 will remember populations as large as 100,000 per acre disrupting outdoor events and sounding off with loud - almost deafening - mating calls.
