Where are 17-year Brood X cicadas in North Carolina?

These critters are part of Brood X that come out of the ground every 17 years. Sorenson told us this brood will mostly miss the Triad and instead invade the southwest and northwest regions of the state. Some folks can expect to see them, but for most of us in North Carolina, we re going to have to wait about three years before we get the full effect of this phenomenon, Sorenson said. He said in three years, we ll see cicadas in full force. That will be Brood 19 of the 13-year cicadas.  This brood will stretch from about Rocky Mount all the way through the Triangle and the Triad, all the way down to Charlotte and into the foothills, Sorenson said.

Archival data from the North Carolina Entomological Museum’s collection had led him to suspect that some of the fireflies atop Grandfather Mountain in western North Carolina might be more than the average lightning bug. An entomologist at North Carolina State University, Sorenson is the sort of college professor who challenges his students to write a Shakespearean sonnet praising their favorite insect. He headed up to the mountains in the summer of 2019, and while staying in one of Grandfather’s cabins, he decided to do a little investigating.
