What’s up with the 2024 cicada invasion? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice learn all about cicadas and the multiple broods set to unleash this spring and summer with entomologist Jessica Ware. Why are they so noisy?
Learn why so many cicadas emerge all at once and about their life cycle. We explore th timbal organ and what makes for a really effective cicada mating call. What do they even do underground for 17 years? Jessica tells is about cicada larvae dropping down from trees and how human activities are impacting cicadas. Plus, learn why Neil has a two-year-old cicada in his freezer.

@@Kube_Dog The idea that I have? They don't know it has been "17 years". Time will always be relative. Each surviving brood has been around long enough that some defined time span has become part of their ability to reproduce efficiently. This rate has been consistent enough that they evolved this cycle. I think of it in the same way that the gestation of a human is around 9 and a half months give or take. Putting aside differences between one type of life and another...why not longer? Why not shorter? This could be Thee Fitness Test deciding what lives and what dies. Those that are adaptable and fortunate enough to dial it in on the cycle that works for them and their competition... Maybe we are hitting one of the nails on its head when we say they are making their presence known during the time where we experience higher temperatures... In the end, this has been their way to exist. Behaviors that make them less likely to be exterminated by other species and environmental conditions. Agreeable, and performing so, over an exceptional period of time. Leading to this sort of thing. *shrugs* Brainstorming here, and very fun/wild to think about.

Also: Please don't try to poison the cicadas! We had an emergence in 2021 and it coincided with an absolutely horrific mysterious bird illness that affected songbirds. The best hypothesis was that uninformed people were using a ton of pesticides to get rid of the cicadas (this was during the darker days of covid so people were home and noticing the cicadas more than in other years, and also spending more time in their backyards). The birds went blind and then had seizures and bled... sometimes while their mates watched and freaked the eff out. It was the worst. So please, tell your neighbors: enjoy the cicadas, share the planet.

Re: outro -- Several years ago I worked in an office/lab separated from the only wilderness area -- only a couple of blocks square, but home to thousands of small creatures -- in our urban setting. Then bulldozers and men with chain saws demolished the entire habitat in a matter of hours. All those animals, insects, reptiles lost their habitat in one day's time. Of course it was in order to build more buildings while the city remained full of renewable structures sitting abandoned and rotting. I've never forgotten and never will and still feel grief.

I can remember as a kid on the south side of Chicago during the summer time around sunset 🌅 u will hear them get very loud, so I know it going to be louder. I moved to las Vegas so don’t have to worry about that this time lol❤

In Central Indiana and I love to hear the cicadas. A couple of years ago, we were expecting two very large broods to coincide. Here at home I never heard anything, but we went to southern Indiana and could hear them as we were driving down the road with windows up and radio playing, they were so loud!

Thank you for this insightful information on Cicadas. I think they look beautiful. And their life journey is so fascinating.

A memory I have as a child was walking down the gravel road on a hot summer day hearing the loud Cicada song, but I always thought it was the powerline buzzing.

Thanks as always! I love Cicada season. Reminds me of my childhood. It always gives me a little reprieve from my tinnitus, lol. These both sound very similar nowadays. 😂
