This year we're witnessing an event that hasn't happened since 1803 - when Thomas Jefferson was president.  The dual emergence of a 13 year species of cicada and a 17 year species of cicada.  So in honor of that we're revisiting cicadas - and learning some cool new things about them!  We're also revisiting cicada killer wasps and cicada zombie butt fungus!
