Cicadas Reappear in Mercer County With 17 Year Brood IX
Mercer County reports mass emergence of Brood IX cicadas as 17 year cycle returns. Extension agents note the insects’ ground dormancy, mating calls, egg laying on small twigs, and potential minor damage to young plants. They stress cicadas pose no human threat and advise delaying new plantings until breeding season ends.
