This is a video I put together in Cromwell Valley Park, close to the Willow Grove Nature Education Center on a hike to experience a 17 year phenomenon in nature with the Brood X Cicadas being around after emerging from the ground! Filmed on 5/25/2021 at Cromwell Valley Park in Parkville, Maryland.
Every 17 years, Brood X cicada nymphs tunnel upwards en masse to emerge from the surface of the ground. The insects then shed their exoskeletons on trees and other surfaces, thus becoming adults. The mature cicadas fly, mate, lay eggs in twigs, and then die within several weeks. The combination of the insects' long underground life, their nearly simultaneous emergence from the ground in vast numbers and their short period of adulthood allows the brood to survive even massive predation.
Brood X is endemic in Indiana, southeastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, East Tennessee and other areas throughout the eastern United states. The brood contains three species, Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassinii and Magicicada septendecula, that congregate on different trees and have different male songs.
