Have you heard the hum around town?! 😂 Yes, the cicada mega brood is here! (Sorry that we’re not providing any park information in this post, but we just had to document this incredible cicada event.)
Brood XIX is a group of cicadas on a 13-year cycle, which is emerging from the ground now. Prairie Ridge Ecostation made a great post explaining their whole life cycle, so we highly recommend checking that out for more information.
As you can see from the last photo, in less than an hour’s time, we plucked all those exoskeletons our cicada friends left us from 3 trees in our yard. We definitely hear the guy cicadas singing their symphonies now, so we sure hope the little bugs are finding their soulmates in our trees. 😂
We’ll be back with a new park post later this week. Happy Monday and hope it’s a great week!
