In this News Channel 5 article, Rob Kraker from Davey's Southeast Nashville office shares about the upcoming rare double cicada emergence.
It may be hard to find someone more excited about the upcoming rare double cicada emergence than Rob Kraker.
“This is a part of nature, and it's actually pretty cool that we get to be a part of that. The last time this happened was when Thomas Jefferson was around — 221 years ago!”
Once the ground warms to the mid-60s, likely in May, we can expect two cicada broods to emerge: the 17-year Brood XIII and the 13-year Brood XIX.
I spoke with Kraker — a certified tree arborist with The Davey Tree Expert Company — about the species, and he told me that the insect is helpful.
