Allen, Caldwell, Christian, Trigg Counties
to have Cicadas Outbreak
“Double-Brood Emergence”
4/02/24 Nihil Obstat, Imprimatur, 12/22/24
Jonathan Larson, UK professor, told Kruser & Crew that this summer Cicadas broods 17 and 19 will emerge in many states but not so much in Kentucky.
I the Commonwealth, the locust-like creatures with green body and red eyes will emerge like gangbusters mostly in four counties:
- Allen,
- Caldwell,
- Christian, and
- Trigg.
If you’re into endophagy (eating bugs) Bill Gates will be proud of you; but, most of us detest the practice of John the Baptist living off of locusts and honey.
No thanks. While some “broods” of cicadas spend over a decade living underground before they emerge, have sex in the treetops, and lay eggs in the ground, they actually emerge somewhere every year.
They leave their nymph hard shell on tree bark when they reach adult-hood and begin to breed above-ground.
One Kentuckian said, “I’d rather eat boiled patent-leather than a bug of any kind, and patent leather is plastic, it’s not real leather! Tell Bill Gates I said go to hell!”
