Scientists Confirm Two Distinct Periodical Cicada Races
A Chicago Tribune report notes two cicada races, the seventeen-year and the eighteen-year pattern. Both share similar features, with the only difference being larval and pupal durations. Broods are catalogued by Roman numerals, 1–17 for the 17-year race and 18–30 for the 13-year race. Overlaps occur, varying by region, while the insects are absent in the western U.S. and favor eastern woodlands from the Atlantic to central Kansas.
