Trillions of cicadas are about to emerge after 17 years underground in United States | |

It doesn't only happen at 17yr intervals. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44883436 Seriously. My trees in my front yard were covered with cicada exoskeleton shells that they molted last year. Different broods pop nearly every year. This is the big hatch and its a specific species. There will be a lot of them. Get ready for some good fishing. Fish go crazy during these hatches. |

They will test positive and be super-spreaders !!! More masks, I tell ya! For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.

If you think about it, the tail (end) of the hypodermic has a "stinger" (needle), and it could signify people will start dropping dead in 5 months or that in 5 months they stop the vaccinations because it's too much to cover up at that point. |

It doesn't only happen at 17yr intervals. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44883436 Actually your partially correct. The Cicada spends 17 years of its life underground in the larval stage and emerges , crawls up on to some object, sheds it's skin and becomes the mating adult with wings. But that doesn't mean cicadas all emerge at the same time . in the same year. They don't. In the south we have them every single year, and their noise can literally be deafening. BTW, if you ever see a cat with one in it's mouth dont try to take it away or approach the cat, I dont know what it is but it makes them batshit insane |

Wrong We expect them to emerge in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York (extinct or nearly so), Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. The last time this brood emerged was in 2004. [link to www.cicadamania.com (secure)] |

Go and look up the USDA county by county map: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] This is basically only for Indiana, western Ohio, south central Pennsylvania, and north central Maryland. Also includes Long Island, Delaware, a little bit of eastern Tennessee, a few counties in southern Michigan, and a few counties in Northern Virginia. |
