Cicadas are crawling out from underground, where they have been hiding in the darkness for almost two decades. As of May 2013, they're invading the East Coast from North Carolina to New York. But why? Learn more about cicadas with Josh and Chuck.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of cicadas, focusing on the periodical cicadas that emerge every 13 or 17 years in massive synchronized swarms. They explore these lovably clumsy insects' incredible life cycle, their ear-splitting mating calls that can reach lawnmower-level decibels, and why billions of them suddenly appear all at once along the Eastern United States. The hosts also share details about their upcoming Science Channel special "Cicada Invasion 2013" where they'll be covering this natural phenomenon as it unfolds.
