As many as 1.5 million cicadas per acre may emerge, and people living in Southwest Virginia, parts of North Carolina and West Virginia could witness this unique phenomenon, Virginia Tech says in a news release.Luckily, cicadas are harmless to humans. At most, the noise they make could become a nuisance.'Murder hornets' aren't the bugs you should worry about.
"Hopefully, any annoyance at the disturbance is tempered by just how infrequent -- and amazing -- this event is."Read MoreHowever, they are a danger to orchids, vines and trees due to the egg-laying habits of its females."Cicadas can occur in overwhelming numbers and growers in predicted areas of activity should be watchful," said Doug Pfeiffer, a professor and extension specialist in Virginia Tech's Department of Entomology.
JUPITERMOVESME saw this and immediately thought of you 😳
Shit. Is that this year?!
Do they loot and burn?
Like bad people they don’t last long. A tribute to mother nature to show us the way!!
They are gonna take a sneak peak at 2020 and turn right around
Where do you work now?
Of course they are.
Yep. This would have to be the year wouldn’t it.
RichDemaio
I hope they all take a shit on Trumps head
Just a cherry on the effing cake!!
This is BS. Cicadas appeared in 2013. I remember seeing them all the time when I lived in New York. It is true that they appear every 17 years, but it has only been 7, so you’re 10 years off
Aw man I hated these niggas, 2020 can’t get any worse
The fuck u mean they were just here 7 years ago
fantastic. 2020👎🏼
Are they Asian Will they murder millions of Americans
Riots, Corona, Cicadas, oh my!😱
Pretty sure they came out last 5 evenings
There go my quiet evenings outside!
Why NOT add THAT plague to our year? THANKS!
Of course......of course they are.
I hope some of them are Democrats
Cicadas, it was you! It was you all along!
What page of revelations is gonna play out next.
This is not a good time
Who cares. 🙄🤯
They will join forces with the Murder hornets and force all of humanity to relocate to Mars.
Going by the Book.
Cicada Riot 2020
Yep, this would be about right for 2020
2020 putting in that work!!!!
Maybe they should rethink that plan.
Just found one earlier tonight.
And then die in a day like they always do.
Oh, my nightmare, cool.
Gross
A prolepsis of Trump's demise.
Protests, CNN? It's called a riot.
If they see their shadow from the glow of a raging dumpster fire they go back underground for two more years.
TWO DAYS AGO I said to myself... 'Damn. Why don't I hear Cicadas anymore?! I remember as a kid, I ALWAYS heard them in the Summer and find their shells everywhere. I wonder why? That's weird.. Wherever that thought came from.' NOW I KNOW WHY. Smh.
What the hell does this have to do with anything going on at your headquarters right now?
Nature is GREAT!!
Seriously cnn?
What eats them - get their predators ready.
That’s their M.O. been doin it for centuries.
Where?
On the look out for Sea turning red and 4 guys riding horses. Then I think I have Bingo.
They don't bite and they don't sting, unless you're a tree or a shrub, you should not really be afraid of them... Trump is way more dangerous.
It's all part of the plan. Choosing 2020 to make a comeback is no coincidence.
Great jst what need an invasion of locusts.
Be sure to keep window washing solution they really muck up a wind shield Paper towels and a scraper may be needed.
Nasty little orange bugs! They’re annoying.
Oh the Joy
2020: “waiting for another tension”?... Here I come..
Hope they do get Covid19 🤣
Oh my god, the world really is coming to an end. 🤦♀️
But why
Oh Lord! is there any way to prepare for their arrival? there must be another creature that devours them, nature has the answer, I am sure.
There was a year, I believe it was 1998, when multiple cycles of cicadas were out, 7 year, 21 year (Idk all the details) I just remember the deafening buzz. We could not escape from it. It was hard to sleep, and unpleasant to experience. The endless droning was almost unbearable.
Maybe Cicadas can fight the Murder Hornets and we will have have something to bet on.
Let's take a moment to remember 2003: - 4chan and Greta Thunberg were born - Estonia and Malta joined the European Union - The WHO issued a global warning about a novel coronavirus orginating in China called 'SARS'
Level 6 of Jumanji aka 2020
Saw the first one on the back porch the day before yesterday.
Like the democrats morale.🤣
CNN hosts should try this.
I swear we see this tweet every year. lololol
They say this every year.
Murder Cicadas?
I see cicadas every single year. I don't understand the whole 17 year thing
Do You ever have something positive to Say to our world?
Of course they are 🤣
OMG! Ticks and cecadas? And Corona?! You guys at CNN better stay inside. Seems like it’s gonna be a scary summer.
I hate plagues
Plauge, locusts what else?
Great. I’m on my way to BevMo again
O.... que grande es esa cosa
Millions of cicadas emerge every summer.
2020 sucks
When is 2020 over?
If I were them, I’d head back underground.
This is wonderful.
I swear the last time they emerged was less than 17 years ago. Are there different waves of cicada emergences?
CNN with more fear mongering. Go away CNN
just more food for the Wuhan market then!!!!!!
Fake news
Their lifespan is literally less than a day
travis_view after 17 years! These Qanon Shitflys have got to be a sign
LasVegasLocally and VitalVegas.
kikussy
They'll be replacing the roaches currently employed by CNN.
God fucking damn it, I’m literally bringing this account out of retirement just to fucking comment on how terrible this is going to be
I took this ten years ago. That's a cicada, right?
So, Murder Hornets are out, Killer Cicadas are in. Well July's going to be a hoot.
So, let me guess, and their left wing liberal propaganda experts recommend another shutdown? Got it.
👍🏼👍🏼💕💕💕💕 They are cute. They sing. They decorate trees with their exoskeleton. What wonderful organisms that we rarely get to enjoy. They are a snack for the omnivorous woodland critters too. A tasty rare treat. 🦨🦝🐀🐁🐿
Introverts say.. This isn’t fun anymore ..
idk google says next year
Great, that's all we need... 17 million chickadas coming out of the closet just as soon as we finish the pandemic. It will be a great big giant gay latino festival.
We need a rain check
Sure. Why not.
Another one for the apocalypse bingo
Disease ✔️ Pestilence right on schedule ✔️ War and famine are an ongoing thing ✔️ 2020!🎉
I hear them shitz every year; wit their damn shells hanging off my fence.
Just great. What’s next an asteroid headed for Earth? Let it hit the White House first.
what next?
and so fulfilled the prophecy... GTFO CNN. We know what you’re doing.
Oh noooooooos... MURDERIN' CICADAS.... RUN!!!!!!
Secadas all over the place in the Caribbean every year and don’t cause problems. More fear mongering
Are they gay like the frogs? 🤔
Not ready for it.
Omg!! Don't they know we are in quarantine?
May the wrath of them swarm to all of tRump’s golf courses!
Of course...
And if not, CNN will stage a emergence.

lachic288

Farmers should watch Outlander, they had to deal with that on episode 6 s5. 🦗🦗🦗
Well so then you will feel like in Provence. That is nice no ?
Heaven will full of virtues people by the end of 2020. In pandemic, many people acts as suffering of people as theirs. They now cares, donate and help masses. Humanity is renewing it seems!
Exactly what's that if I may asked?
And they all live in Tucson. I can’t wait to hear that non stop buzzing. 😐
With Trump in charge mishandling everything now is the perfect opportunity to take over the US. I for one welcome my new Cicadas overlords 🙌🏼
Good thing Murder Hornets kill cicadas! Guess they ain’t bad after all!
April 2016 'Billions of cicadas will ascend upon the northeastern United States as another 17-year cycle concludes' BILLIONS
Go figure Donald Adolf Trump really is the Antichrist the apocalypse has begun
Doom and gloom network The sky is falling network Everyone is dying network The Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour network

Don’t forget the Murder Hornets!
Tami_Skye_Mars To say the timing sucks would be a bit of an understatement.
The Democrats have been coming out a lot!
The killer bees will eat them for breakfast. That's one of their favorite foods.
Huh. Somehow I was expecting locusts.
2020 Woo!!
They have invaded Africans Countries, did you see that CNN?
What is a cicada in Spanish?

JonSecada

Who will emerge first Joe Biden or the Cicadas?
And Is it the end of the world?
😂🤣I can just see SpeakerPelosi stood in her garden pulling them out of the air and biting their heads off😱 You know! like sweets😳
What is this 17 years mess? They come out every dang year. They're acting like they don't appear but once every 17 years. They're all over the dang place year after year in the lower portion of the US.
Cicadas coming out of the ground in 2020 like:
Another plague? ....why does that not surprise me? 😱🤣😱🤣😱🤣😱🤣🤣🤣😁😁
This is on brand for 2020 🙃
Dogs love dried shedded cicada skins. It’s like freaking nachos to dogs!!
Will they kill the murder hornets?
Sure why not.
Texas has them every year. What in the piss are you talking about?
God must b bitter with human beings
Sounds like Democrats during an election year!
And this is 2020
situma7 expound this to me.
Well, of course! What else. Plague, pestilence, famine, flood. Are you paying attention folks?
Stay underground at least until this year is over cuz it’s sucks out here!
Cicadas: WTF has happened to the United States of America?
melvillanie

Read the room cicadas. Now ain't the time.
Another big trouble on its way
Como la cigarra MercedesSosa
Plague!
Oh great...a pandemic and plague at the same time. 🤔🤦
Noisy critters
Dems are racing to register cicadas as voters.
Just rock me to sleep tonight.
Noooo!!!!!!!
Probably as Democrat mail in voters
Memekat These jawns scare me at night! I imagine a swarm attacking me be on some Twilight zone shit!
First the plague, then locust invasion-apocalyptic preachers must be having the time of their lives!
Does this include Jon Secada..?
The orange cast of the cicada is vaguely familiar.
Where?
RAPTURE!!!!!!!!!
You mean like they did last year ...?
The news said it was last year, who lying?
Plague, pestilence.. so uh, when do the four horsemen make an appearance? Asking for a friend..
After 17 years they’ve had enough of your left BS.
Always makes me think of the film Lucas.
Biblical ?
I hear this story every year.
They will be like......wtf were are those hairless walking apes at ?
And the murder hornets shall feast and be merry.
This is actually a good thing, cicadas are harmless clumsy insects that when they emerge provide a feast for animals that eat them. These aren’t locusts.... just an FYI
Of course they are...
Oh god. I remember when this happened in the late 80s it was like something biblical
First Michigan floods...now locusts...dimwitmer, let My people go.
like they do every year!
Welcome to the shit show fellas.
Полностью с вами с согласна
This is from 2013. 17yrs went by quite quickly
Seems like we all are paying for China's karma's .
This is my hell
Food for the Murder Hornets.
They are going to wish they hadn’t.
I swear I see this every year...🙄
Of course they are 🤣
Well fack, do they eat brains lol
The plagues are upon us. Get ready
What is the “unique” occurrence referred to in CNN’s article? They say there was going to be a “unique” occurrence, but they never say what it is.
Somehow
Of course they are.
17 years? Ha! You can't make this up.
My kids should learn how to be patient from these animals...
Ahhh our yearly warning about millions of 17 year cicadas emerging. I look forward to this same 17 year story, every year.
No shit. If this is news to you at CNN, small wonder your numbers are so low. You'd better pray George Soros' money lasts forever.
Wtf 2020
Kim Jung Un-Whitmer has issued a “Build a Concrete Bunker and Shelter There Order”. Pyongyang, Michigan is now in “Double Super-Secret Lockdown”.
