Cicada Brood XIX: Witness the Phenomenon in 2024
What to Expect in 2024
Get ready for a spectacular natural event in 2024 as Brood XIX, a group of periodical cicadas, emerges from their underground slumber. These fascinating creatures have been developing beneath the soil for 17 years and will soon make their grand reappearance.
Two Major Brood Groups
Periodical cicadas are classified into two groups based on their emergence timing: Brood X and Brood XIX. Brood X made headlines in 2021, captivating the eastern US with its massive emergence. In 2024, it's Brood XIX's turn to take center stage.
Geographic Range
Brood XIX will primarily appear in the southeastern and midwestern United States. States like Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and North Carolina are expected to witness their arrival.
Dual Emergence in 2024
This year, an unusual event will occur: two distinct cicada broods (Brood XVII and Brood XIX) will emerge in some areas simultaneously. This dual emergence is expected to result in an abundance of cicadas, creating an unforgettable spectacle.
