We would like to explain why we call our website CicadYear.com. The main reason is that cicada does emerge periodically. In fact, cicada is called periodical cicada for that exact reason.
Every year that cicada emerges bring a different cicada brood. There are three major types of cicada cycle: 2 year, 13 year and 17 year. Each period is characterized by different amount of cicadas and different behavioral patterns. It means that cicada of the certain year emerges in different regions of the USA.
As you can see, this is the main reason why we call our site CicadaYear.com. Year is very important to cicada since it determines when, where and how cicada will emerge.
