SUMMARY: Periodical cicadas emerge every 17 years and are smaller than the larger annual cicadas, which appear every summer. The current cicadas invading neighborhoods are periodical ones, slightly delayed due to cooler temperatures but expected to increase as it gets warmer. Male cicadas produce a mating call to attract females, who lay eggs on tree limbs. The nymphs fall to the ground and feed on tree roots until they emerge again 17 years later. They likely use changes in tree root fluid to time their emergence. Interestingly, cicadas are safe to eat and provide a good protein source.
