Description
This spring, Barnstable and Plymouth Counties join 12 other states in witnessing the emergence of cicada brood XIV, a rare phenomenon we have not experienced since 2008. Come and learn about periodical and annual cicada species found on Cape Cod, and what to expect when witnessing the “hoard.” Discover cicada life histories, their importance to natural cycles and their actual or perceived impact on our local trees.
