It's Just Our Turn. There are 15 groups â or broods â of cicadas that are on life cycles of either 13 or 17 years. They appear mostly in the eastern and central parts of the U.S. Last spring, it was a brood in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa that had its coming out.
Why do these things only come around once every 17 years? Not all cicadas have a 17-year life cycle. Some, dubbed annual cicadas, have life spans of anywhere from two to eight years, and some members of these species end up emerging every year, so they're not as noticeable. The cicadas we'll see this year, however, are periodical cicadas. Some species have a 17-year life cycle, while others are on a 13-year cycle.
