Update on the 2021 Brood X
To recap what actually became of the Brood X frenzy, they emerged in April and were gone by the end of June, leaving a legacy of noise, mating, reproduction, death, food for other animals, and media excitement. An app called Cicada Safari helped researchers and average US citizens track encounters with Brood X. In total, over 196,000 people downloaded the app, and shared over 560,000 photographs and 28,000 videos. It’s safe to surmise that this Brood made history as the most documented of all time. Here’s a fun look at what happened when the Brood X cicadas emerged with interesting film footage.
