Periodically Annoying

“There are several species of periodical cicadas, which are cicadas that emerge from the soil every 13 or 17 years. Every 221 years, the cicada broods emerge at the same time in the Midwest and Southeast United States! These tiny-but-very-loud insects have been waiting a very looong time to make some noise together.”
