Mother Nature is about to put on a show in Georgia.

Huge broods of cicadas and their overpowering hums make their way to the state any day now.

The big flying bugs are always here, but swarms of periodic cicadas hatch every 13 to 17 years, and this is the year.

These insects, also called “17-year locusts,” are notorious for disappearing for several years reappearing in intervals, according to National Geographic.

WSB Lawn and Garden expert says the 17-year brood, Brood VI, is expected to emerge north of the city, in places like Forsyth County and Cherokee County.

“Everybody will notice them because they’re so loud and numerous on trees,” Reeves adds.

“When the females lay eggs, they will cut a little slit in the limbs and twigs of small trees and lay their eggs in that slit and that will cause the end of the branch to die.”

Insecticides will not work, so Reeves says to use netting to protect trees and shrubs.

“Cicadas are big,” Reeves explains. “They’ll be an inch and a half to sometimes two inches long.”

Despite their size, Reeves says the bugs do not “harm humans or pets or animals.”

The AJC reports Brood VI probably will not be back until 2034, but Brood X is estimated to make its way to Georgia in 2021.
