- Joe Millitzer and Tim Ezell discuss viral video of cicadas emerging in Missouri.
• Cicadas are emerging in the St. Louis area.
• FOX 2 viewer Brenda Curren Otey sent this video from O'Fallon, Missouri. It already has 200,000 views on Facebook.
• It shows thousands of cicadas emerging from the ground. I'm seeing a lot more people sharing similar videos in the comments.
• Comments: "Samantha: I'm getting a flame thrower" - "Donna: It’s really a phenomenal sight" - Some have seen a lot, others just a few.
• Experts estimate that each acre can hold 1.5 million cicadas. That means a city the size of St. Louis could produce 60 billion cicadas.
• Two cicada broods, Brood 19 and Brood 8, are emerging this year, impacting 17 states across the U.S.
• This dual emergence is a rare occurrence, happening only once every 221 years, with the last event in 1803 during Thomas Jefferson's presidency.
• Parts of central and eastern Illinois will get both. St. Louis will not.
• The St. Louis area mainly has the 13-year-old cicada brood.
• After their mating season, which lasts until June, the cicadas' life cycle restarts as nymphs burrow underground to develop.
• They will re-emerge in another 13-years.
• Do you have video of cicadas emerging in your backyard? Post them to social media and tag FOX2Now. Or just send them to me on your favorite online platform.

From what I've been reading, the broods here in Illinois will be emerging concurrently but never actually overlapping so it'll look like any other emergence due to none of the broods actually coming up in the SAME place
My dog won't stop eating the Cicadas! 🤢 It can be bad for them if they eat too many, digestive issues :(
I saw 3, cicadas, in the past 3 days. And I’m in Jefferson County Missouri
I saw the cicadas when I was 17 years old I lived in Baltimore maryland.
Here I am again. 17 years later. But this time I’m in Missouri. Only to experience the cicadas the second time in my life …
lol
I’m scared to death of them lol. They’re 😊 completely harmless. Nevertheless, they’re scary. Lol.
And they both won't emerge again until 2245. But we won't be around to see it. 221 years from now.
Uhh no it's every 13-17 years
@@isaiahwarnick271BoTh 13 and 17 year cicadas won’t emerge for another 200 years.
@@user-jn7er8qt8e bro you just watched the video and did no research some of them come out every 13 years and the others come out every 17 years

Drove down Kingshighway next to Forest Park today. The Cicadas are so Loud 🔊!

@@livinglifekenisha73 okay, then I won't tell you I spotted a few in the CWE near Kingside Diner.
We heard this several years ago...

Lame. You didn't even bother to mention what they do while they're here, how long the insect's life is, if they damage plants or are beneficial.
They live 17 years
Take two year to them come up an rest 15 year buzing around eat lot plants like locust
They don’t live 17 years. They only live few months but they don’t come out of the ground for 17 years.
they are alive in the ground bruh. they don’t just appear alive like zombies they be chilling underground for 13/17 year periods between mating as they mature and then mate above the surface for a couple months. they live for 13 or 17 years plus a couple months
They mate while they’re here the loud buzz are the males calling a female once they mate the female can lay up to 600 eggs in a tree 6 weeks later they hatch fall to the ground dig there way in the soil and boom see you in 13yrs oh and the parents die after a month
