Cicadas return in 2025: Which states will see them?
SUMMARY: In 2025, Brood XIV cicadas will emerge across parts of 13 U.S. states, including Southern Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, northeast Georgia, central Pennsylvania, Long Island, and Cape Cod. This brood is the second-largest periodical cicada group. Unlike 2024’s “cicada-geddon,” Brood XIV will have more scattered emergence areas. Cicadas typically appear in late spring when the ground reaches 64°F and remain for 4-6 weeks. Despite their loud mating calls and appearance, cicadas are harmless, causing no damage other than leaving water-like excretions on trees. A larger emergence is expected in 2076.
