After 17 years underground, Brood X - cicadas, will be emerging for 2-4 weeks in late May and early June while singing and calling for insects to be recognized as equal citizens of Earth! One of the most spectacular jams is on its way! Stephen Bradley is going to rent for 3 days a cabin in epicentre of this mega-event. Listen to extract from his recordings of Brood II. from Virginia here:

Stay tuned, please. Uni.Sol_news. To be continued!

(A myth.
There is this bug and its larva lives about 17 years underground.
On threshold of adulthood - like late teenager - it is waiting to be enough courageous to be born – suddenly! - into light, glorious light of one day in the spring, sometimes in May of this year. After 17 years! Evolving from little egg to become this amazing musician! Those bugs are cicadas. Cicadas are very skilled sound-makers and they are singing whole their adult life. Except at night, when they become electric, I heard. Static crackles-like darkness. And then, whole day they are singing and singing, celebrating vibrant life as equal cohabitants of this world, realm of real world of planet Earth. Apparently there will be trillions of them! What a spectacular jam-session! Shall we join in? Can you play a language of cicada? Imagine …)))


From an article captured on FB:
An invasion is coming. This spring, trillions of small insects will emerge from the ground around us, announcing their arrival with a cacophony of sound and piles of molted skin. Along the eastern United States, from New York to Georgia, the appearance of Brood X will be hard to miss. Like classifying people as Gen Z or Millennials, different generations of cicadas have different names called broods. The broods are given Roman numerals to correspond to their life-cycles which last 13 to 17 years. Cicadas spend most of their lives underground feeding on tree roots. During the final few weeks of their life they emerge from the ground to mate in large numbers. Once above ground, they shed their old skin, emerging in a new winged form. The male cicadas will then gather together while vibrating a drum-like membrane on their abdomens called a tymbal. The chorus will attract other cicadas from the surrounding area and a dizzying amount of mating ensues. Following this mating ritual, female cicadas lay their eggs in tree bark. After mating and egg laying, all adult cicadas drop dead. When the eggs hatch, the new cicadas burrow underground to the trees’ roots, restarting the cycle. By emerging in a swarm numbering in the trillions, cicadas ensure that neither predators nor changing environmental conditions will easily wipe them out. The Brood X swarm is the largest of all the broods - densities can be as great as 1.5 million per acre - and this process has played out countless times over millions of years. Luckily, cicadas do not bite, spread disease or eat crops, so their emergence is a mostly harmless event. Expect to see and hear them sometime in May, depending on the weather.
