I'm gonna find out how good they are for fish bait.

I remember seeing these hatch out as a child in New Jersey. They are quite literally everywhere. Their corpses will remain long after the swarm ends.

They are tasty dipped in chocolate.

My dogs are going to eat half a billion of these

I was in DC during the last brood around 2005-6, whenever it was. Crazy how many of those fuggers were flying around. They were everywhere.

I remember this brood, 1996 I guess, and it sounded like aliens were everywhere. It was pretty cool.

Glenn Webb, a mathematician at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, has demonstrated mathematically that prime-numbered lifecycles could help cicadas avoid damaging “resonances” with the two- and three-year population fluctuations of their predators. These would result in lots of predators being around in years when there were lots of prey. Dr Webb's model shows that, over a 200-year period, average predator populations during hypothetical outbreaks of 14- and 15-year cicadas would be up to 2% higher than during outbreaks of 13- and 17-year cicadas. That may not sound like much, but it is enough to drive natural selection towards a prime-numbered life-cycle.

When I lived in Florida they had this love bug outbreak. There were so many they would clog up cars radiators and cause them to over heat.

The brood is basically gone. I know VA got a ton but Charlotte was at the very bottom of the range and I didn't see one.
