Swarms of cicadas have begun emerging from the ground in North Carolina and South Carolina kicking off an historic few months where the flying insects will appear in 17 states
The one to two-inch-long bugs are rising from the soil and growing wings before they then start a frantic mating frenzy lasting several weeks. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Billions, if not trillions, of two groups of cicadas will appear in 17 U.S. states over the coming months in a rare natural phenomenon not seen since 1803. You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
