With the arrival of the next brood, anxieties are high on what the incoming cicadas mean. Also, learn how to keep your flower bulbs long-lasting.

Use this map from the University of Connecticut to check if 17-year periodical cicadas will appear in your neighborhood soon.

Cicadas are small flying bugs that emerge from the ground periodically to mate and then disappear again. There are 15 broods of cicadas and each brood has its own life cycle, generally either 13 or 17 years. Brood XIV, the cicada brood emerging in 2025, is a 17-year brood and the last time we saw these particular insects was 2008.
