Two groups of cicadas, members of the order Hemiptera (or insects such as water bugs), will co-emerge this April for the first time since 1803, a scientific study has revealed.
The report by the University of Connecticut shows the infestation will be prominent in the Midwest and Southeast of the US, from Maryland to Oklahoma and Illinois to Alabama. It states these areas will see trillions of adult cicadas emerge, although not all will be in the same place at the same time.
