nymph emerging

After spending 17 years underground, these Brood X Cicadas have emerged by the thousands (even millions!!) all over the Eastern US. Check out the video to see them go from emerging nymphs to singing adults! At the end of the video, you can even hear their loud serenade!

Filming locations: sites all across Virginia, Great Falls National Park, and on the Gettysburg battlefields from 5/18/21 through 5/27/21.

You can also watch it on our YouTube channel here. To learn more about Hannah, the video’s creator, click here.
