Cicada invasion 2025: Where will the insects emerge this year?

(NEXSTAR) – 2024 brought us "cicada-geddon," a double awakening of two broods of periodical cicadas that swarmed much of the eastern United States over the spring and summer. The noisy insects have been silent for a few months now, but come spring 2025 their songs will ring out again.

Broods of periodical cicadas only emerge every 13 or 17 years. Some years, none of the named broods emerge. Last year was notable because two groups emerged at once and their areas had some geographic overlap.
