NEWS Billions of cicadas bring buzzy magic to Missouri in 2024

KANSAS CITY – Billions of cicadas will buzz this spring as two broods emerge at the same time. These broods last emerged together in 1803 and won’t appear together again for 221 years.That means that your grandchildren’s great-great-great-grandchildren likely will be the next group to experience the dual emergence of these cicada broods that appear in 13- and 17-year life cycles, said University of Missouri Extension specialist Tamra Reall. “It will be crazy,” she said, and she can’t wait. Reall is a horticulturist in the Kansas City area and an entomologist known as “Dr. Bug.” Periodical cicadas have the longest known life cycle of any insect. Broods are groups of cicadas that share the same emergence years.
