BLAIRSVILLE, Ga. — The cicada invasion continues! We told you about the Brood X cicadas beginning to emerge throughout the spring and summer, and another Channel 2 Action News viewer shared photos with us showing thousands of the bugs swarming in their yard.
Jan, from the Hole in the Wall restaurant in Blairsville, sent us pictures of thousands of the bugs in a yard.
[EXPLAINER: What are cicadas and why do they bug some people?]
A couple of weeks ago, we also shared photos of the cicadas emerging in Dahlonega.
The cicadas come out every 17 years and they’ll stick around until June.
People in Fannin, Gilmer and Union counties could see as many as 1.5 million cicadas per acre.

- Brood X: Georgia among states to see billions of cicadas this spring
- Swarm of cicadas of ‘biblical proportions’ could bring venomous snakes along with them
The last time Brood X made an appearance was in 2004. The cicadas come out once soil reaches 64 degrees. They are often triggered by a warm rain.
They don’t harm people or pets, and scientists say not to kill them.
The only things cicadas can harm are young trees if they climb up them and try to plant eggs on weak, young limbs. Experts say netting young trees protects them.
Once this brood is done emerging, we won’t see cicadas in Georgia again until 2024, when two different broods will come out.

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga.  Uvamizi wa cicada unaendelea! "Wakati wa kipindi cha ""Bread X"" cha mwaka huu, mnyama huyo alishirikiana na watazamaji wa Channel 2 Action News na kuwakilisha picha za wanyama hao wakizunguka bustani yao." Jan, kutoka mkahawa wa Hole in the Wall huko Blairsville, alitumia picha za maelfu ya wadudu katika bustani. [Mfafanuzi: Cicadas ni nini na kwa nini wao huwasumbua watu fulani?] Katika wiki chache zilizopita, tulishiriki picha za cicadas zinazojitokeza katika Dahlonega. Mnyama huyo huja kila baada ya miaka 17 na huendelea kuishi hadi mwezi Juni. Katika wilaya za Fannin, Gilmer na Union, watu wanaweza kuona karibu milioni 1.5 za cicadas kwa ekari. "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""Brow X"" ni kundi la wanyama wa aina ya cicada, ambao wanaishi katika eneo la Georgia, Georgia, na Georgia, na ambao wana uwezo wa kuvutia watu wengi zaidi, na wanaonekana kuwa na uwezo wa kuvutia zaidi." Mimea ya cicada huanza kuota wakati joto la ardhi linapofikia nyuzi 64 za joto la dunia. Mara nyingi hutokezwa na mvua yenye joto. Hawaumiza watu au wanyama-vipenzi, na wanasayansi husema wasiwaue. Mnyama huyo anaweza kuharibu miti midogo tu kwa kupanda juu yake na kujaribu kuweka mayai yake kwenye matawi yake madogo. Wataalamu wanasema kwamba kufunika miti midogo kwa wavu huilinda. Baada ya kuzaliwa kwa mtoto huyo, sikada haitaonekana tena nchini Georgia hadi mwaka 2024, wakati ambapo watoto wawili watatokea. Shirika la habari la Associated Press lilisaidia kutokeza makala hii.
