Houstonians are gearing up for the annual cicada symphony as summer approaches.
In Houston , residents are accustomed to the annual cicadas serenading us every summer, but there’s quite the buzz surrounding the periodic cicadas emerging every 13 or 17 years in the Midwest and Southeast.Egan explained that while Houston hosts its share of annual cicadas, the periodic cicadas making headlines hail from the Midwest and Southeast. However, their emergence in those regions often leads to increased sightings in Houston .
Egan delved into the lifecycle of cicadas, explaining that they spend the majority of their lives underground, feeding on tree roots. It’s during the hot summer months that they emerge to fulfill their purpose: males sing to attract females, who lay their eggs in trees, ensuring the cycle continues. Reflecting on personal experiences with cicadas, Egan shared anecdotes from different regions, from the dense infestations in Asheville, North Carolina, to the awe-inspiring cacophony atop Watchtower Mountain in Arkansas. These mass emergences, occurring once every 17 years, create unforgettable sights and sounds.
