Cicadas of Brood XIV are set to emerge, buzzing loudly to attract mates after 17 years underground.

Croatian's word for cicada, cvrcak, beautifully encapsulates its sound and cultural significance, linking it to summer experiences and poetry.

Cicadas evolved sleeker wings in response to predation by early birds, enhancing their diversity during the Mesozoic era.

A blue-eyed cicada with a rare genetic mutation was found by an Illinois family and donated to Chicago's Field Museum for further study.

Trillions of cicadas live underground for years, drinking from tree roots and shedding their skin, emerging briefly every 13 or 17 years for mating.

Americans are experiencing a rare event of two cicada broods emerging simultaneously, finding comfort or annoyance in their loud sounds.
