For Kids: Cicadapalooza! - April 2024
Overview
To us it's an invasion. But to them... IT'S A PARTY! This issue of The New York Times for Kids, originally published April 28, 2024, read all about the huge cicada emergence happening this spring across 16 states. More than a TRILLION bugs are expected to crawl out of the ground in late April and early May.

It will be loud, messy, squirmy — and the event of a lifetime for insect lovers.
