Oldest Known Brood Of 17 Year Locust Will Reappear
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture warns that the oldest brood of 17 year cicadas, No XIV, will emerge this year across central Pennsylvania from Massachusetts to Illinois and into North Carolina and Tennessee. The cicadas cause limited damage, mainly to fruit trees, as females puncture twigs to lay eggs then the nymphs drop to the ground and attach to roots. Fewer brood numbers follow reduced nesting forests, limiting future spread.
