Cicadas are coming to Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Across the eastern and central U.S., these emergences are roughly organized into 27 or so “broods,” most consisting of multiple species of periodical cicadas. This summer’s cluster of emerging cicadas is called Brood X, which includes the pharaoh cicada (Magicicada septendecim), the dwarf periodical cicada (M. cassinii) and the decula periodical cicada (M. septendecula). Unlike the black and green annual cicadas that emerge later in the summer, periodical cicadas are predominantly black with amber colored wings and beautiful red eyes. Subtle characteristics on the underside help to distinguish the different species. Right now, cicada nymphs are digging their way out of underground burrows, where they’ve been feeding on sap from tree roots for the last 17 years. Each nymph crawls up the side of a tree or other nearby structure and begins to molt. After a few hours, the newly emerged adult is ready to fly and leaves its empty brown exoskeleton behind.

Cades Cove Vehicle-Free Wednesdays begin May 5  - The Cherokee One Feather

  Great Smoky Mountains National Park is inviting the public to enjoy the Cades Cove Loop Road on vehicle-free Wednesdays beginning May 5 through Sept. 1. Participants are encouraged to visit in the afternoons and early evenings to spread use out throughout the day. Parking on site is limited, with parking lots often filling to capacity during the early morning hours. “We look forward to offering this unique experience again, but we are making some modifications to better protect our roadside infrastructure and camping experience from out-of-bounds parking,” said Superintendent Cash. “I heard from many people who loved having the full day to walk or ride their bikes around the cove. The credit for the idea goes to the local field staff who brought the concept forward in an effort to allow people more time to enjoy the loop road and to reduce congestion.”
