US-CICADAS 2-FILES
(FILES) A cicada rests on the grass in Alexandria, Virginia in this May 14, 2004 file photo. The hordes are rising. A cicada invasion is imminent in the United States, with millions of the large cricket-like insects poised to emerge from the earth after 17 years lying in wait. The first of the bugs that are expected to blanket the US east coast have already been spotted in North Carolina and New Jersey. "The Brood II emergence has begun!" cheered the site cicadamania.com on May 13, 2013, where the subculture of insect fans can record sightings. But the onslaught will truly begin later this month, once the average ground temperature hits 64 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius). At its peak, there could be swarms with between one and two thousand chirping critters per square yard (meter). AFP Photo/Stephen JAFFE
