The Invasion of the Cicadas


The central United States is preparing for the arrival of billions of cicadas. Cicadas are insects. They live underground and come out once every 17 years. While they do not bite or sting humans, everyone knows they are there. The noise made by cicadas can be louder than telephones and lawn mowers. A concert in Chicago has been cancelled because of the cicadas.
