1.  THE PERIODICAL CICADAS

Periodical cicadas are fascinating insects that have been part of the North American ecosystem for millennia. These creatures, known for their long underground maturation and mass emergence, have captured people's imaginations for generations. The phenomenon of periodical cicadas is unique to North America, with different species emerging at regular intervals of 13 or 17 years, depending on the species.

These insects are true masters of survival and synchronization, with their emergences occurring in cycles that defy conventional logic. While most insects follow an annual life cycle, periodical cicadas remain buried in the soil for more than a decade before emerging in masse, often in millions or even billions of individuals, to mate, lay eggs and complete their life cycle.

This unique phenomenon has intrigued scientists, nature enthusiasts and the general public for centuries. With each emergence, periodical cicadas trigger a mixture of fascination, curiosity and even a little apprehension in the communities affected.

Their appearance in 2024 is surrounded by expectation and speculation, as people wait to witness yet another chapter in this extraordinary life cycle. In this book, we will explore in more detail the emergence of periodical cicadas in 2024, their impact on local ecosystems and the fascinating story behind this unique natural phenomenon.
