17 Year Cicadas Will Make A Lot of Noise In Iowa
Entomologist Harold Gunderson of Iowa State University explains in the April Iowa Farm Science Magazine that 17 year cicadas will emerge in southern Iowa in May. The insects will be loud but cause little damage or stinging to humans or animals. Two cicada races exist, one with a 13 year cycle and one with 17 years, with different broods emerging between 1946 and 1963. Reprints FS-1026 are available via county Extension Service or Iowa State University publications distribution.
