A periodical cicada crawls on a tree on Saturday, June 1, 2019, after emerging from a 17-year hibernation in Zelienople, Pa. The insects are due in 2021 as part of Brood X that covers numerous states, including parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They come out of the ground once the temperature reaches optimum, then climb into trees and make a droning sound to attract mates to breed. Their activity will peak between mid-May and mid-June, and then die off about four weeks after first emerging according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.AP File Photo/Keith Srakocic
