“This is a big event”: Billions of cicadas to emerge this spring amid rare double brood

- Billions of cicadas are poised to emerge from their decades-long slumber this spring and early summer in a rare natural phenomenon not witnessed since the 1800s.
The double brood event will happen just south of Canada, with both 13-year and 17-year cicadas emerging simultaneously, which has not happened since 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States.
“This is a big, big event” says David Beresford, a Canadian entomology professor.
Joe Scarpelli has more on this rare double brood and what is shaping up to be a raucous mating season.

EVERYONE MAN YOUR STATIONS
THE CICADAS ARE COMING
We had our huge cicada invasion a year ago in Maryland. It’s not such a big deal and the birds loved it. 🙂
Biblical
ice ages and years without summers happened back then........they are only doing it now because they know they won't be able to do it for a long long time, plus intense energy from Beatlejuice Star system. Clues are aligning.....
the bible says nothing about Cicadas at all
@@canadaclub8920 locusts
@canadaclub8920 I'm an atheist but I think they meant the sheer amount of them which would relate to the end of times with locust.
Isnt a locust and cicada basically the same thing? I SAY THAT PLAGUES SHALL FALL UPON THEE FOR THY WICKED WAYS! @Ultimita01
Cute!?! Guessing you’d think otherwise after listening to their nauseating high pitched noise all the time.
What are you, nuts? Love that sound. That's the sound of Summer.
In El Salvador we know them as chicharras.
They were peeping all over the place! lol
Nice to know what these are called! They are super loud and have that nonstop ring! 🇲🇽
This really bugs me.....
When they go, they go, theres no party like a cicada party
...because a cicada party don't stop!

I love Cicada. Cute bug. I do hear them in my back yard .
I dont know why your sayinng they haven't been out? They had a run in 2015
So then probably not in
Canada ?
Obese birds coming up!!
Sweet
Cicadas can make a sound that registers at 106.7 decibels. The safe noise level for humans is 70 decibels, while anything over 80 decibels could impact your hearing and cause hearing loss. These insects can be harmful to humans. If hundreds enter your home you will leave fast because you will not be able to endure the sound. Now think about that.
What border????
They say billions, and I've read it could be up to a trillion total. Gross. lol
Looks like a noisy giant flying cockroach
Scary if they’re big as elephants 😮
How many do you think you'll step on by accident this year?

Drumming up business for the upcoming insect burger meat substitutes.

Don't do cicadas😂😂😂 :
Stage I infected males respond to mating calls of both males and females and attract healthy males through flicking their wings, a behavior only observed in healthy females. This altered behavior aids in infection of healthy cicadas.[10] Stage I infected males also tolerate mounting from courting males, suggesting that M. cicadina alters insect sexual behavior to increase infection rates.[9] The fruiting bodies of M. cicadina on Stage I infected adult cicadas possess a substituted amphetamine alkaloid, cathinone.[13]
For those of you wondering if you can get “high” from the psychedelic chemicals in a Massospora-infected cicada, Kasson’s answer is “maybe, if you’re motivated enough.”
“Here is the thing,” he said. “These psychoactive compounds were just two of less than 1,000 compounds found in these cicadas. Yes, they are notable but there are other compounds that might be harmful to humans. I wouldn’t take that risk.”
Eew
ARE CICADAS DEADLY ?
WHAT DO CICADAS WANT ?
They just pee, like a lot, absolutely noisy, But harmless.
nah they wont do anything to you
It’s a plague!😂
