See everything from fungi to deer and ants to goslings feasting on these Brood X Cicadas! Our final video on the amazing natural phenomenon that is the Brood X Cicada emergence shows how cicadas can be a beneficial food source.

We hope you enjoyed this magical journey through this incredible natural event!
