In this bonus episode, we look at the rare emergence of two broods of cicadas in North America and how this rare double emergence of Broods 13 and 17 has not been seen in over two centuries.

In the news we share articles on Broods 13 and 17 ( click here ) and National Geographic resources four kids and schools ( click here and click here ). ( Podcast 5E6 ).
