In warmer states, cicadas usually come out in late April or May. In cooler states, their arrival tends to occur in May or early June.<\/p>\n<h2>How long will cicadas be above ground?<\/h2>\n<p>Researchers say cicadas typically remain in a given area for 4 to 6 weeks after they first emerge. Most individual cicadas live for just a few weeks, but, since the emergence itself happens over two weeks, their eventual fading will also be staggered.<\/p>\n<h2>What are cicadas?<\/h2>\n<p>Cicadas are a type of insect, related to stink bugs, bed buds and aphids.

Individual &#8220;broods&#8221; are biologically synchronized to crop up simultaneously in 13- or 17-year intervals, when they rise from their burrows underground in populations that can reach up to the trillions. Between intervals, they live in soil as larvae and feed on fluids from plant roots, the wildlife federation explains.<\/p>\n<p>There are three species of cicadas that emerge every 17 years, and four species that materialize every 13 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/cicadas.uconn.edu\/general_information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to researchers<\/a> at the University of Connecticut.

Once the mating process has ended, female cicadas deposit their eggs in tree branches. When they hatch, the larvae fall to the ground, burrow into the soil, and the cycle starts again.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/emily-mae-czachor\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Emily Mae  Czachor<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Emily Mae Czachor is a news editor at CBSNews.com.
