The Cicadas Are Coming!

Periodical cicadas are found only in eastern North America. And within the next few weeks, hordes of them will awaken from a 17-year slumber, crawl out of the earth, shed their skins, and set the entire East Coast abuzz.

Don't worry, there's no risk to life or limb. Yet, you may  miss a few winks of sleep as these creatures emit a deafening sound by vibrating the scales on their bodies at high frequencies.
