I've seen cicadas in Tennessee, but I haven't seen cicadas like this. Cicadas are not your average insects; they are masters of time, patiently waiting underground for years before emerging in unison. Brood XIX, also known as the Great Southern Brood, is no exception. Every 13 years, these remarkable insects break free from their subterranean hideouts to grace the world with their presence.
The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture said the cicadas develop underground for 13 years and emerge when the soil temperature at 8 inches deep warms up to about 64 degrees.
From there, the bugs find a sturdy surface to cling to, such as a tree, so they can molt their larval exoskeleton to free their wings. The adult cicada leaves behind a pristine shell and flies away to find mates.
Thank you for watching and subscribing. We appreciate every one of y'all watching and hope you are enjoying watching us explore Tennessee.
