Insect experts say Hoosiers should
Insect experts say Hoosiers should start seeing and hearing those 17-year cicadas any day now, and they will be impossible to miss.
“Some people describe it as like a jet flying overhead,” said Elizabeth Barnes, who works in the Entomology Department at Purdue University. “They will be noisy and numerous.”
We see and hear annual cicadas every summer. But Brood X, as this species is known, has been growing underground since 2004.
“They’ve got bright red eyes, yellow wings, sort of dark bodies … and [will] all come out at once in the spring.”
Sounds kind of like something from a horror movie.
“Well, I mean if it was another insect, it might be,” laughed Barnes. “But cicadas are not dangerous. They don’t bite, they don’t sting. They don’t do a lot of damage to plants.”
