There’s a buzz about this
#wildlifewednesday, which celebrates the magical, mysterious periodical cicada. These noisy insects emerge en masse from the ground every 13 or 17 years, depending on the brood. And Marylanders with fond memories of the 2021 emergence of Brood X might not need to wait until 2038 to witness this bizarre phenomenon once again.
Right now Brood XIX — the Great Southern Brood — should be making an appearance in a small pocket of southern St. Mary’s County. Let us know if you’ve seen them!
