Any day now, we should begin seeing (and hearing!) cicadas. Although some cicadas appear every year, this brood of cicadas is the offspring of cicadas that we last saw 17 years ago, in 1996. This video let’s you get up close and personal with a cicada.
Check out this video from BBC that shares information about the cicada life cycle and how to “train” a male cicada just by snapping.
