This is the cicada life cycle. It's not terrible dissimilar from other insect lifestyles except that some species of cicadas that we have in the Eastern US live periodic life cycles on cycles of 13 and 17 years. They got that part right. What they got wrong was assuming they only show up on those times. In reality, there are broods, groups of these critters with staggered cycles in various geographical regions of the US. See the map at the link above. Yes, in 2024, there are 13-year and 17-year broods expected to be active. But this certainly happens far more often than implied by these click baiting hacks at End Times. For example, broods from both cycles were active in 2014 and 2015. And the broods themselves are physically spread across different states. For example one brood will be active in northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa while the other will be active in Missouri, southern Illinois, and Arkansas.
This isn't a sign of the coming apocalypse. It's simply nature acting in a normal and predictable way.
This is fake news. More to the point, it's stupid, fact-absent alarmism with a doomsayer's twist. Why is it fake news?
