A familiar buzz may be ringing in your ears but it’s not from Brood X. Annual cicadas, a different breed, are emerging from the ground across the Midwest and east coast.  .

Annual cicadas emerge every year in the middle of summer.

The last of Brood X cicadas died out earlier this summer, most of them in June and early July, after spending about six weeks buzzing around looking for a mate. .

Most annual cicada species are more green and brown with dark eyes, and have a larger, stockier build.

The annual cicadas come out in smaller numbers, so their buzzing may not be as noticeable as Brood X. .

The next brood will emerge in 2038
