The Cicadas are Coming!

from Off the Radar · host The National Weather Desk

For the first time since 1803, two distinct broods of periodic cicadas will simultaneously emerge across the Midwest and Southeast this spring. Emily will be joined by entomologist Dr. Floyd Shockley from the Smithsonian to learn the biology behind cicadas' precise life cycles, their ecological impact, and the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon of millions of these insects surfacing together after over a decade underground.
