The March of the Cicadas
Brood XIII, the 17-year cicadas that will emerge in Chicago this year, are expected to make their appearance around May 22. But why wait until then to discover these amazing bugs? Watch the following mini-film and view cicadas burrowing out of the earth, molting, and finding mates in beautiful time-lapse cinematography. I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Cool video!
Do these swarming little creatures pose any danger to the areas or people that they converge upon?
Will they eat my kids?
