🧬 About Brood XIV – The Greater Eastern Brood

Brood XIV is the second-largest periodical cicada brood in the United States, even larger than Brood X. It emerges every 17 years in four distinct regions:

• A massive patch from northeast Georgia to southern Ohio
• A dense population in central Pennsylvania
• Unique colonies on Long Island
• Isolated populations on Cape Cod’s sandy soils

This brood includes three periodical species:
Magicicada cassini, Magicicada septendecim, and Magicicada septendecula.

Known for its reach, volume (up to a million per 2.4 acres), and historical overlap with other broods, Brood XIV has earned its title as the Greater Eastern Brood.

📅 Next emergence of Brood XIV? 2042.
(It will co-emerge with Brood XIX in 2076—a once-in-a-lifetime double brood event.)
