TRILLIONS of cicadas are set to invade the eastern US for the first time in 221 years, scientists say.

In April, two large broods of periodical cicadas are going to emerge from the ground around the US for a large mating frenzy.

"Billions, even trillions, of cicadas are going to emerge at the same time across 17 states," Chris Simon, a professor in UConn's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, told Live Science.

Brood XIII and XIX have been living underground for 17 and 13 years respectively, and will emerge for the first time together in 221 years.

Periodical broods are found in eastern North America and tend to emerge in large numbers.
Once they hatch, the nymphs feed off root sap underground until it's time to mate.

Oh great, more Bio engineered food product to add to processed food.
I wish I was joking.

Do the two broods mate with each other or only within broods? If they do interbreed, will this change the number of years between emergences for the off-spring of the interbreedings? Might members of the new brood emerge every year?
I hope the songbirds and everything else that feeds on the cicadias are hungry
Fortunately, cicadias don't eat crops like locusts do JESUS!!! but they do damage trees, which includes fruit trees.

I wonder if the emergence will coincide with the solar eclipse

I wonder what else besides dividing The Land TPTB may be planning on agreeing to, working on, starting, or doing to Israel or the Jewish people in the next week or so

I still don't believe in coincidences . . .

Do the two broods mate with each other

I don't suppose so, because they seem to come out seperately most of the time, and only together every 221 years. That cycle would stop it they interbreeded.

But on a different note:
Remember the thread we had on how many grasshoppers make up for one cow, in terms of proteines?

Post in thread 'WEF Speaker Calls for “Ecocide” Laws Against Fishing and Farming'

So maybe one B. Gates should go out with a net and harvest all the bugs.
They kan make up for a nice herd of cows...

Oh gross. We just had the 17- years emerge here a few years ago. Totally gross and disgusting.

ut they do damage trees, which includes fruit trees.

Our front tree was so coated with them people would come and stare. Dogs would eat as many as they could. We had the tree taken down right after that last invasion.

The forests are burning and building materials are already beyond ridiculously priced. The cicadias might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and I may never be able to afford a house or even a small mobile home

I hope God comes back soon, because as everything else goes up, rent is going to get even more outrageous than it already is
As it is, temp employment may be an impending option until I find something permanent. Had really wanted to wait until the estate settled to start looking, unless exactly the right job came along, but that may no longer be an option [sigh]

I suspect we're living in a time where things are going to get worse here and around the world. Then the Church will be Raptured and the decline will speed up even more for all the poor saps left behind.

It sounds like a plague and we can see how evil this world has become. Biden doesn't know what he is doing when he starts trying to divide Gods land given to Israel. We can see how much this world has gone downhill. The devil is having a heyday stirring up as much hatred and violence as he can. His time is drawing very short, and hopefully we will be out of here soon.
