The great flight
Ah, you’re referring to the “Great Cicada Flyaway”! It’s an incredible event that occurs when cicadas emerge en masse after a 17-year underground period. During this time, cicada nymphs develop in the soil, feeding on plant roots. When the time comes, they emerge in their millions, covering trees and fences, creating a deafening buzz as they seek to mate. This phenomenon is incredible to witness and has been studied by scientists for decades. The last time this occurred was in 2007, so expectations were high for another great flyaway in 2024.
