Not sure, but I do know it's just on the east side of the Mississippi River unless they can form a bridge with the billions of these little critters like in the scary movies.

Every 17 years is really strange

Depends on how much they are drinking.

It only lasts for a couple of days you bleeding Wimps, this is one of natures most finest gifts, embrace it and think yourselves lucky that you can witness such a wondrous event.

Here's a map of the North American Periodical cicadas:

Looks like this year it's Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania & parts of West Virginia and Maryland.

They range as far north as New York and south as far as Louisiana.

These cicada come out every year. Of course not in great numbers. Their sound is distinctive. Usually near mid-summer. When I was a kid and heard the cicada I knew that a new school year was near. I still think that to this day when the cicada makes it odd cicada song.
