Some are dreading the arrival of millions of Brood X cicadas across Tennessee but one expert hopes people will share his fascination for the big-eyed bugs.
Cicadas will be surfacing after spending nearly two decades underground. They will come out by the billions this spring across at least 16 states, including Ohio.
In Ohio, Brood X periodical cicadas last emerged in 2004, will be coming out in concentrated areas throughout the western portion of the state, according to experts. We expect to see the largest concentrations of these cicadas in the following counties: Defiance, Franklin, Greene, Hamilton, Logan and Montgomery. Brood X is one of the largest and most broadly distributed groups of periodical cicadas, stretching from Georgia to New York and reaching as far west as the Mississippi River, according to a statement from Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA).
