Cicadas in the news, again? It's true that a different brood is making its grand appearance in 2025 and most importantly, many of them are Kentucky cicadas! Jonathan Larson from UK Entomology will join the show to discuss the biology of periodical cicadas, where they can be found in the commonwealth, and if there are any problems you need to be concerned about. It'll be an insect music filled episode that will hopefully inspire you to try some cicada tourism this spring!
