"Our next major emergence of the periodical cicadas will start in late April
and early May 2024, when two different broods will emerge. The 17-year Brood
XIII will emerge in Northern Illinois, while the 13-year Brood XIX will emerge
in parts of Southeastern United States. It is not common to have a dual
emergence between Broods XIII and XIX. They occur once every 221 years and the
last time these two broods emerged together was in 1803. Thomas Jefferson was
President of the United States, and Lewis and Clark started their exploration
of the Louisiana Purchase.
We ask your help in mapping the emergence of these early stragglers. Simply
download the free Cicada Safari app from the Apple app store or Google play,
then go on a safari to find periodical cicadas. Photograph and submit the
periodical cicadas to Cicada Safari, and after the photos are verified, they
will be posted to the live map. Cicada Safari was created by Dr. Gene Kritsky
working with the Center for IT Engagement at Mount St. Joseph University in
Cincinnati."
