The cicadas are back for some fun in the sun, and this time, they’re louder than ever! For the first time since 1803, Broods XIII and XIX will be emerging at the same time, covering the American South and Midwest with trillions of cicadas. As Smithsonian entomologist Floyd Shockley readies his nets for the biggest bug invasion in centuries, we look back at the emergence of Brood X in 2021, and explore how cicadas have captivated our human ancestors for millennia.

Guests:

Floyd Shockley, entomologist at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History

Gao Hong, professional pipa player, composer, and educator

Jim Deutsch, curator at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage

Jan Stuart, Melvin R. Seiden Curator of Chinese Art at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art
