119: Cicada Season Begins: What can we do about the world's loudest insect?

from Getting Pacific · host TaiwanPlus

Around the end of April and the beginning of May, parts of North America are set to see two different broods of cicadas wake up at once. It's a dual emergence between groups that meet only once every 221 years. Trevor and Joey chat about the upcoming emergence event, why cicadas sleep for such exact amounts of time, and how the harmless insect has evolved to overcome even its toughest predators. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
