- This spring, trillions of cicadas - both 13-year and 17-year cicadas - will emerge from underground and try to mate, which means you can expect to hear a lot of loud buzzing. Here's where and when they'll arrive.

The cicadas sound is like my tinnitus in my ears. I hear it all the time. 😂😂😂😂
So that's where my tinitus comes from. 😀
By any chance....have you had tinnitus for 7 or 13 years exactly? If so i have a theory!
Ditto Sometimes I'm amazed at all. I can ignore, I'll just accept it.
I've heard they're making headway on treatment, though.
😅 same
Sounds just like mine too. So I probably will not even notice them at all.
Cicadas in my neighborhood sound EXACTLY like a ufo from a 1950s sci fi movie hovering nearby!
Yup, it was like a hum. Not annoying or anything. If you've ever been in FL during Love bug season, you know what annoying is.
War of the worlds is the movie and I’m pretty sure they got the sound effect from cicadas
I’m 80 years old now, but I remember when I was a child I lived in Virginia and we had cicadas that swarmed must’ve been in the late 40s early 50s, as kids, we went around and collected all the empty shells from the larva stage. They were all over the place telephone poles, trees, bushes everywhere it was amazing.
.
I’m in my late 70s and remember the same thing here in VA.
A few years back, here In Atlanta, Georgia, I stepped out of my car and saw movement at the same time I heard bizarre buzzing.
I LEVITATED! Well, not really, but I thought it was a rattlesnake. Turned out it was a cicada that had flipped onto its back and was spinning in circles and making an ungodly racket. Yes, it scared the pudding out of me. 😱
My chickens will love them!
Can't wait. There was a good number of them out last year around here. My birds were a riot to watch chasing those blasted bugs. Then the fight is on when they catch one cuz they're so big. They get torn apart and eaten in the frenzy of chase the chicken with the bug. lol
Our chickens wouldn't eat them 2 yrs ago
@@chrismcpherson1586 try spritzing then with gravy...a little too salty gravy
So will my ladies …but not me, lol
Birds and squirrels will be well-fed.
Yup and most their baby's will be happy an plump...zip zing something else is going to go wild . Wasps an ants is my guess
I will be well fed also. My wife makes a delicious stew out of them. YUM....
I was wondering what would eat them
Yes ,I heard a scientist say , I'm going to study who who whom uses them as food , has a good summer and makes a lot of baby's....
@@TravislovesBetsy make sure to add fresh oregano, and a dash of tumeric 🤗
Dr. Ramsay is so charming! I love his enthusiasm for these little creatures so much 🤗🥰
Why use pesticide on harmless insects?! The world needs insects to function well. They are part of precious nature.
They’re not so harmless when they fly at your face like a softball 😅
There was a time pesticide didn't exist. Apparently nobody died. :-)
Exactly but unfortunately some humans don't give two shts about just respecting nature and letting them be.
@@joanfrellburg4901I remember no AC, 100 degree temp, 100 percent humidity, windows open only to wake up hacking, coughing trying to get your breath because of the DTP poison fogging trucks not warning us they were coming. Cancer........? 😮😮😮
@@damdamfinoI can see no one ever had to hang their heavy white sheets out on a clotheline only to have those bugs bomb you and ruin your clean bleached sheets. We didnt have driers then! Our sheets/clothes were bleached Brite white by the sun. Not crummy grey looking like the dryer makes them. 😢
I live in a city and miss the sounds of nature ...Ive alwways love the sound of cicadas!
I was working in Princeton 15 years ago, when they came out. It was amazing.
I was introduced to them as an adult and enjoy them and their sound😊
Born and raised in southern Virginia...these bugs were part of my childhood. We called them "Dryflies" and used to enjoy finding their shells all over the farm in trees and bushes. Just today...we found a couple dozen around the house. I love the sound of them. I'm going to walk around the old farm tomorrow and see how many shells I find. I don't know why some people panic over them...I mean...this isn't something new...LOL!
Map is at 5:05
You're my hero😊
Thank you ❤
Thank you
You are a champion
Thanks. Looks like when they hit the state line of TEXAS they say, Nope not going there... GOOD.
I love them damn bugs. Fond memories of childhood and sleeping to the sound.
Ikr?! Every autumn I’m grateful for the silence, but then miss them again after a week 😂. I live in the mountains of north Georgia and wow are they intense here! Hope you are having a joyous Spring 🤍🙏🕊
I remember summer afternoons in SC. When you heard the circadas you knew it was time to stop playing and go home.
@@linnaeusshecut3959 Yes! And i don't know how many times as a kid i would scream for my parents at night because i was convinced there was a cicada in my room. I loved the little bugs, but I also the most neurotic child 😂. They would check everything, though, and say no, the cicadas are just throwing their voices 🎤. Happy Spring, y'all! 🤍🙏🕊
Doubt youll love the sound of billions of them all making that sound.
The only thing I get is bit by mosquitos 😂
GA lady here. Love the sound. Love these entomologists getting so excited.
13X17=221, and last time matched up 1801. How incredible the clock of nature run so precisely
If you are afraid of cicadas, don't drive with your car windows down. People sometime freak out when they inadvertently end up inside their car, & in a panic will have an accident. They can't bite you, but their legs can cling to you like Velcro.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t realize that could happen.😂
Heads up when your driving with windows up too... they pelt the windshield and their greenish yellow guts splatter all over!
Of for sure. If your going down the highway at 80 amd one hits you in the face. Yeah id imagine that would not be cool.
Im 73 now but I remember when I was a kid, my aunts cat had a cicada lock on the aunts cat lip…..they couldn’t get it off and they had to cut the bottom lip off. Cat lived many years after that…..
Well, I live in South Carolina and it’s so loud you can’t stand it for long. We’ve had them for weeks! I can hear them from inside my house!
They are in Georgia already and yeah, the birds are loving it!
I'm in Savannah and heard them early this evening. They remind me of my childhood in Louisiana. The sound of them is peaceful to me. There is no preparation you can do for them, because they are as much a part of nature as any other creature on earth. The only thing you can do is sit on a porch swing with your favorite beverage and enjoy the sound of them as you relax and swing to their beautiful song.
Almost turned this off then saw Dr. Sammy Ramsey - love this brilliant man! Saw him speak at a local event last year and he is not only knowledgeable, he’s also funny and kind. I learned so much and was fully engaged - didn’t want it to end. His passion is contagious. I appreciate him greatly.
Ive met so many people in my life that think cicadas r locusts.....ive never understood why they thought that.
They haven't seen it on the internet yet, that's what I am talkin about!
I like to boggle their mind by revealing that locusts are, in fact, grasshoppers turned into terrorists.
As a kid in GA, we enjoyed collecting "locust shells" off of trees and utility poles. I never heard of cicadas until I was an adult and moved to VA.
I'm in my early 70's but I remember as young kids we'd take the empty shells off the tree trunks and stick them to the backs of the unsuspecting, then laugh at the crunching sound made when they sat down! Trick was played by all to all - we had a blast!
The amount of guano from these things being eaten is gonna be crazy. It should be a good crop year
What????
The birbs *LOVE* them!! Eating is good for them!
I remember them from when I was a kid and they are disgusting. The shells are everywhere and after a time they start to smell. You literally have to use a shovel to scoop them into the garbage. The cicadas smash against the windshield of your car, and you can't see through the smeary mess. My mom used to walk with an umbrella because they would fall from trees. And you go insane from the noise. I'm so glad I live in an area where there aren't cicadas. They are awful.
you don't deserve the joy they bring.
@@tinawelch3005 -- One person's joy is another's disgust. Neither one is right or wrong. It's just how it is.
I'm shivering just thinking of the amount of these insects coming to Illinois. Yesterday I went to a deck at work to have my lunch and one of the first cicadas flew nearby. I took my bowl and got back to the office as soon as I could. And the trillions of them are coming... God, help me not to get a heart attack
leave them alone.... they are our BEAUTIFUL songsters of Summer❤❤❤❤❤ i love them so much they are peaceful,,,, and placid and NEVER SWARM. i live in new orleans... we get them every year and we love their beautiful song and essential place in our ecosystem.❤❤❤
They are mostly heard not seen. I like them!
Are these not the ones that are blind and fly right into you???
omg you obviously never experienced a true swarm of them! They can totally take over an area crawling everywhere, landing in your hair, smashed all over sidewalks and roads, the sound gets piercing loud it hurts, you cannot even hear the person next to you talking.
You're speaking of the annular cicadas. Those make the sound of summer that make up a background sound. These two broods will be so loud that you couldn't have a normal volume conversation with someone standing right next to you.
OMG, Chicken Little! The sky is falling! Lol. They do get LOUD. Like, deafeningly loud.
Seriously, to the point you can't even hear the person beside you talking!
Damn….I live in the path😏Better enjoy the peace and quiet while I can. I’ve experienced them before and the constant sound was nerve wrenching. If it is worse, then, I will go out only if I have to. Last time for me , they freaked me out. I had holes all through my yard, they were shedding their skin/shells🤷♀️on my screens. All over the sidewalks, I would use an umbrella, for fear they would fall from the trees on me…😂😂 And, they were bigger than I expected, it was like a horror movie.😂. Well, I hope they don’t stay long…..I will be in my house with ear plugs. They creep me out..
they didn’t mention the sound at all. It wreaks havoc with tinnitus.
Can the two Broods interbreed and create hybrids? If so do we get 15 years cicadas LOL
What annoys me is about 13 years ago they said “they will match up for the first time in 100 years!” During that year, the local scientists asked us to report our own findings to help them keep track. That’s how real that was. So, I guess it has only been 13 years since they last matched up. And what’s also is annoying: I see cicadas every year, some years more than others.
There are annual cicadas, they're green.
Everyone is so ignorant about nature. How we're still here is baffling.
I agree. I do believe humans are now the LOWEST species in the totem pole.
People are ignorant, Mother Nature is genius.
Walmart
Different people specialize in different fields. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of bug experts are pretty ignorant in the field of medicine or farming.
The good thing is we can go to a doctor and get expert medical advice for our particular issue instead of going to school for a decade to learn it ourselves.
We can go to the grocery store and get some vegetables without having to have started working the land a year ago for some carrots and tomatoes.
Next time you eat a fruit from the other side of the world or read a book that was written 100 years ago or turn on your air conditioner, you should stop to appreciate that all people are not at the same level of knowledge in all fields.
They sound like crickets with amplifiers. My niece used to put shed skins on her shirt like badges!
Her voice, her voice. Explosive. 🎉 how does anyone listen.
I had one in my living room last year. He was dive bombing me, while I was screaming!!! Scary
Scary yes. I am deathly afraid of June bugs cuz they dive at your head too!!
LOL!
More likely a June bug or other beetle or horsefly. Cicadas do not dive bomb you. Totally harmless. Just LOUD.
@@lilfoot3660 The kind I had in my home was a giant wasp type species. They do dive bomb!!!
Sounds like the movie 'Midway'.....right there in your living room.
"Dive Bomber, Dive Bomber" 😂
The cicada trill is a soothing effect down in Georgia.
When we kids were growing up in the 50’s and early 60’s Daddy would holler for us, kids to come outside and listen to the cicadas!!!‼️
The platform for this kind of information is a web page with graphs and maps that show immediately what we want to see rather than slogging through a 15 minute video to get the information.
That is a lot of cicadas. They're going to rent all the hotel and motel rooms, clear the shelves at 7-11, buy up all the beer, traffic jams, sleeping in the park, on your lawn... what a mess.
I can only imagine the amount of white noise that residents will need in order to sleep and keep their sanity. I feel bad for the homeless who won't be able to escape the insane noise.
How long will it last…..👽
Nope, they shut up at dark.
the noise is calming and helps me sleep.
People are ALREADY INSANE…😂😂😂😂
What do you mean? They are like white noise to me!
The first time in my life they appeared in NJ it was really annoying, but I have to admit it was fascinating too.
My mother in law, who lived in Las Vegas, had them everywhere when we visited. She had two dogs that loved to eat . The shells sounded so crunchy that it gave me the ebiejebies. The shells were floating in the pool and we had to skim the pool two to three times a day.
Hear this every year in northern Virginia. I’ve only seen this happen here 1 time.
Good memories from childhood! Takes me back to warm summer nights.
Grew up in Illinois, never forget coming home to find my front door covered in them, you couldn't see the door, harmless insects but just all over the place
That doesn’t sound like cicadas. I thought it was that loud buzzing for like 20 seconds. 😊
What's the big deal...we have them ugly noisy things here in Arkansas EVERY summer.
The nitrate boost cicadas bring to the soil is absolutely huge... Expect an explosive harvest this Year
Good reporting - informing us what is happening.
Dr. Sammy Ramsey is super cool, and he sounds like he should have his own nature channel. If he hasn’t done so yet.
I’m a 60 year old white dude from Montgomery, Alabama. I grew up in a small town outside Montgomery County, and my family and I lived near the woods.
The sounds of cicadas during the late afternoon were what you’d hear--that’s simply part of the Deep South during the hot months.
I’m now living in Spokane, Washington. I haven’t heard anything I’ve been here.
Saw the first one on my porch last Tuesday. We can hear them but they sound musical, not annoying. Brood XIX.
Sure in small amounts it's nice. I hope for your sake you don't experience a hoard of them, it can get insane with them everywhere and the sound can be piercing, you can't even hear someone talk right beside you.
Very informative!
They are here, in Georgia, now and it is amazing.
It is.
if you live within an area affected by both broods, you'll need protection when you spend time outdoors. If walking is your usual mode of transport, you might want to wear a raincoat and carry an umbrella (I'm not joking). Once they've had their final rager, you'll be unable to step anywhere without hearing a crunch.
It's a little bug that hurts no one or thing and I love listening to them
No you don't.
Yeah they’re harmless
fish bait.. the fish will go crazy for topwater when this happens.
Fill your windshield washer reservoir.
I sure do love my state!
I love the summer bug and frog noises. 😎
The birds will eat well this year. Love them bugs, played with them as a kid, the years they came out to join the rest of the world.
Cicadas r literally the most trusting insect on the planet (maybe a june bug). I was sitting on my front porch smokin and one landed nest me. I reached my finger out and poked its wing and it didnt do anything....so i reached my finger out again and poked it in the eye and it flew away........
June bugs are no more - insecticide
What a great chance for experiencing a lifetime event! Cicadas emerged when we lived in MO and I’d take the kids out and we could see all the different stages of their lifecycle. Best part is you don’t have to worry about them stinging or biting or damaging plants! Think of it as a big love fest! We’re going to miss it in NY
In Texas.....thats how u know summer is here. When u hear ur first cicada....its gonna be one of the first HOT days.
love them, they aid in re aligning the frequency of the planet. all is in order when they come. we all have our jobs to do on earth and the cicades are here to serve earth. Leave them alone and enjoy the 'frequency' they bring us.
Yes. I also find it interesting that they came in the year of 2024. 2+0+2+4=8, which symbolizes abundance, balance, and success.
We also need the frequency cleanse.
The thing is this year's batch was born 17 years ago. The ones born 16 years ago will be out next year. The ones from 15 years ago the year after that. See them every summer, no big deal.
I guess it was 17 yrs ago it sounded like a saw mill running 24/7.
EVEN CBS CANT GRASP THE MAGNITUDE OF THE NUMBER TRILLION !
got windshield washer fluid? they leave BIG splats on your windshield.
Unfortunately Pennsylvania won't get them
I let one loose in the house once. Teasing my wife!!! I won’t do that again!
I recall a ton of them as a kid in 1974/75 ish? in IL.
being born and raised in Ca, I have never seen a Cicada.
they sound like a tire rapidly losing air pressure. LOL
This has been reported every year for the past 4 years.
Pa. Was suppose to have a giant outbreak last yr., nothing in the Laural Highlands, a bust.
When I was growing up in Nevada during the 60’s and 70’s, it seems we had them every summer. I remember gathering up the empty shells and I remember the buzzing sound they made. It was weird to move away to a State that didn’t have them, summer was so quiet.
wrong
I'd enjoy being where this is happening. Western New York hasn't seen this for a while and I'm 70.
I use to live in the boondocks on a 140 wooded acres with the closest home being a mile away and it was very quiet and peaceful until they showed up and the sound was DEAFENING !!!
You folks going to experience this are stronger than i could ever be.
I’m so surprised they’re not making us eat them
It's May here in Missouri and I haven't heard or seen a single one yet.
LOVE Cicadas!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓
Miracles of Nature!!!😊💓😊💓😊
I’ve already seen one on my porch. East Saint Louis Il. 2:07
I feel like i’ve always heard them here down in Texas lol. Unless there’s always a few or I heard different animals
Occasionally I'll see a few emerge in an off year. They have poor timing and miss the mating party. They're pretty inconsequential.
There’s annual cicadas. This video is about periodical cicadas
My mother used to call them heat bugs. They kinda sound like mini buzz saws. They don't bother me none. I love the sounds of summer. In Massachusetts we don't get many of them here. I guess we only get them around when the summers are super hot.
I'm going on a road trip from Minnesota to Washington DC and Gettysburg in August. Hopefully they'll be gone by then.
Its really hard to predict, because there are Annual Cicadas that come out every year.
Can you eat these things? Yes Haw! Git the BBQ Sauce maw!!
Recipe…?
I remember back in the late 70s cicadas were out in force. I was walking and they were crazy flying around and all over sidewalks but the noise was so loud. Aww yes memories and wasn't a pizza making money off of them . Can't remember if it was Snappy Cicada Pizza ? I can remember my cat playing with one and it would scream. Finally I had to rescue the poor thing.
Don't mean to burst your bubble but these critters have been keeping me up at night for the last two weeks just north of Detroit, MI. Haven't seen any yet. My neighbors are complaining to me like I have something to do with it.
I don’t need to travel for the cicadas. We see some most years. Two years ago we had a quite large number of the bugs.❤ Been seeing their skeletons my entire life.
What?!!! Toronto is left out? Aw! 😊
Frst time I seen a red-eye was in 07in sadan..smaller than the ones we had as kid's ive seen three different kinds
Carefree childhood days......when one had the time to wonder and not always rushing pressed for time. Yes
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of collecting the exoskeletons. 🌞🌻
The dude with the beard talking about the cicadas has a big red flyswatter hanging on the wall above the fire extinguisher. 😂
here in SC we are seeing both broods so the map is off.
I love cicadas, especially the chocolate covered ones my grandma use to give us.
Birds will eat happy...but I remember last time there was a huge cicada emergence, it was in NC and it was deafening they were so loud!
We had an over abundance of cicadas about 12 years ago. Get ear muffs it’s going to get loud.
We called them locust as a kid. We could see the shells everywhere. When we found a live locust it was fun to rub the “belly” and they would sing. We would put it on the tree to carry on.
And they been talking about feeding us bugs ......
Please mama don't eat the bugs!!😂😂
always have loved cicadas!
The cicadas are already here in south Central Illinois. They’re in Hosta plants, Dandelion leaves, they began to emerge yesterday leaving holes in the leaves in their wake. Some are already beginning to make a light buzz in the woodlands in south Central Illinois. The last emergence 13 years ago, caused temporary hearing loss from 2+ hours of exposure to their noise in the woodland areas.
Knowing they don't bite, kind of makes them cute to me now.
I might travel to the area from California, just to visit and hear them. 😊
They are mostly heard not seen and are benign.
Quit throwing the “swarm” word around.
No cicadas in Cali?!?
@@dickymiller7196 not that I know of.
@@bovinityleak2066 omg you obviously haven't experienced them in full. Some years in certain places, yes swarm is absolutely appropriate!
