In 2013, the USDA Forest Service published this detailed map of the 15 periodic cicada broods in the U.S. and their emergence years between 2013 and 2029.

Though parts of the country will experience a rare emergence of two broods of periodical cicadas, southwest Missouri will only see one brood.

Despite their annual appearances, Neotibicen probably take multiple years to develop underground, because all cicada species for which life cycle lengths have been measured ...
