Because turkeys and other wildlife will gain so much addi- tional nutrition from periodical cicadas this year, increased turkey populations can be anticipated this fall. Fish also ben- efit from consuming all the cicada carcasses that will fall into lakes and streams.” Although often confused with locusts – a type of grass- hopper that does extensive damage to crops – cicadas do not eat vegetation and only pose a threat to young trees. They feed on the sap from tree roots (as nymphs underground), twigs, and branches. The females also damage trees and Broods (Next emergence) Multiple Broods 17-Year Cicadas Brood I (2029) Brood II (2013) Brood III (2014) Brood IV (2015) Brood V (2016) Brood VI (2017) Brood VII (2018) Brood VIII (2019) Brood IX (2020) Brood X (2021) Brood XIII (2024) Brood XIV (2025) 13-Year Cicadas Brood XIX (2024) Brood XXII (2014) Brood XXIII (2015) USDA Forest Service is an equal opportunity employer and provider.
