Large number of Brood X cicadas are now emerging throughout the region, making for some dramatic sightings. • • But where is the noise?, asks Herndon resident Jeff Herge. • • Brood X is expected to raise sound levels in neighborhoods up to 100 decibels, which rivals the noise of a passing jet liner or a lawn mower running full blast. • • “I’ve got tens of thousands coming up under this one tree right here,” Herge said pointing to the trunk of a tree next to his home. “I can hear some in the distance, but nothing really here.” • • The answer is that it is still a bit too early, according to University of Maryland bug expert Dr. Mike Raupp, also known as “The Bug Guy” • • “If your cicadas have just been up in the last three or four days it's going to take those rascals anywhere from about 6 to 10 days to become fully mature,” Raupp said. • • Make cicadas have a special noise-producing organ called a “tymbal” that must harden with maturity, Raupp explained. • • “It will be rocking here in the DMV very soon,” Raupp predicted. • • Warmer temperatures predicted in the coming days are expected to accelerate the emergence rapidly, Raupp said. ** Subscribe to WUSA9: https://bit.ly/2lO8e2F • FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA – • Twitter: / wusa9 • Facebook: / wusa9 • Instagram: / wusa9 • NEWS TIPS – • Email: [email protected]
