, there are roughly 3,000 species of this insect. While some species reappear annually others take a break for either 13 or 17 years.
Known as periodic cicadas, these species reside and develop in the soil for a number of years before surfacing in massive swarms. This year, Brood IX will take over parts of Southwest Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, the department writes. As many as 1.5 million cicadas will span per acre in these areas. “People who live in these regions will experience a unique natural phenomenon that has not occurred in most of the area since 2003-04.
The nymphs will later hatch from the eggs and drop down to the soil, where they will burrow themselves and start feeding on the plants’ roots. The feeding part is harmless to the tree; however, the part where the eggs are implanted into the branches can cause splits and withers in the tree. Cicada females have the potential to stunt a tree’s growth or kill it completely, just by laying their eggs.
