(ABC 6 News) – A buzz in Iowa, 200 years in the making.

This spring and summer, the sound of some bugs outside may be a bit louder than usual in some parts of the state.

Two different cicada broods will emerge for the first time in over two centuries.

Two broods emerging hasn’t happened since 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was president, making this phenomenon incredibly rare.

“They’ve been living under our feet for 13 or 17 years, just feeding on plant roots and feeding organic matter,” said Zach Schumm, an insect diagnostician at Iowa State University. “They’ve been alive this whole time, right under our feet, but we’ll just be experiencing the end of their lifecycle.”

Experts do note the cicadas are not expected to migrate all the way to northern Iowa.
