Cicadas are back with a new type of energy!
Red-Eyed Zombie Cicadas Emerge Hungry for Sex After 17-Year Slumber
Beware of red eyed sex crazed bugs!
After lying dormant for nearly two decades, billions of sex-crazed cicadas will be emerging hungry for love. However, this year, researches say many will be extra spicy.
They differ from annual cicadas, which appear every summer.
The red-eyed insects are the second largest of the periodical cicadas, a version that hunkers down underground for 17 years in the case of Brood XIC as nymphs, feeding on tree sap, before surfacing to the ground.
They’re expected to break ground in 13 states this year, including New York and are expected to hit mid-May!
According to Cicada Mania, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia are the states that have to brace for the great cicada come-back.
They are harmless, and don’t bite or sting, just loud as they look for a mating partner.
Once the love bugs find a mate, the female deposits eggs so that her offspring can repeat the cycle when they emerge in the year 2042.
