Emergence Holes Of Brood X Periodical Cicadas Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Emergence holes of periodical cicadas, Magicicada species, in the geographically and numerically huge group known as Brood X. The insects emerged in the summer of 2021 in the Eastern United States to reproduce near the end of their 17 year life cycle, most of which is spent underground. They come from the ground as nymphs, climb and attach, shed and discard skins, and become full adults ready to mate.
