Shop Talk: Cicada Season

2024 can be defined through many attributes — albums by numerous hitmakers, critically acclaimed films, and much more. But what wasn’t on our “2024 bingo card” so to speak, is a generation-defining resurgence of everyone’s least favorite insect. That’s right, it’s cicada season, and this one is shaping up to be a doozy!

This spring marks a rare moment in the lifetime of a cicada, as two different broods of cicada — one on a 13-year cycle and the other on a 17-year cycle — align in perfect harmony. The result? Billions of bugs descending on several regions of the United States in the coming weeks.

Haven’t been put off your lunch yet? See below for more info and have a happy cicada season!
