In the spring of 2021 from Georgia to New York and as far west as Illinois trillions of Brood X periodical cicadas will emerge from the earth. In some locations densities will reach 1.5 million per acre. Professor and Extension Specialist at the University of Maryland, Dr. Mike Raupp, will share the natural history, evolution, ecology, and behavior of the seven indigenous species of periodical cicadas, wax poetically about cicada romance in the treetops and how their mischief will cause some damage to trees and shrubs, and explain how their injurious escapades can be foiled without resorting to pesticides. This remarkable event happens nowhere else on the planet, so naturalists in the DMV, get ready for some fun. Click here for more information.
