0645ex resting cicada

These cicadas are unique to the Midwest of the US. They are cyclical--- come out for a short period of time, then burrow near tree roots and re-emerge years later.

 

According to the local MSJ expert on cicadas, this year we are seeing the emergence of "Brood 10" which are 17 year cicadas. They have shown up early, possibly due to the warm winter we had. They were not due to be seen until 2021.
