Every seventeen years, a species of cicadas known as periodical cicadas emerge from the ground in large numbers, primarily in the eastern United States. This emergence occurs in synchronized cycles, with different broods appearing in different years, but the most famous are the 17-year cicadas from Brood X. These cicadas spend most of their lives underground as nymphs before emerging as adults to mate, lay eggs, and then die shortly after, a phenomenon that creates a significant impact on local ecosystems.
