Scientists anticipate trillions of cicadas to emerge in 2025, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
Maryland could see some from Brood 14, though neighboring West Virginia and Virginia are also anticipating the appearance of Brood 1.
According to Dr. John Cooley, a cicada expert, the bugs tend to come out just before the trees start to be fully leafed.
We reached out to Dr. Cooley about just how prevalent they'll be in the Old Line State though.
"I wouldn't expect much," he says. "The only records we've got are from one spot right on the Potomac, right at the narrowest part of the state. My hunch is that they're stragglers."
He shared a link to the UConn cicada website, which includes a map of where cicadas in Brood 14 have been present, including two in Western Maryland.
The Farmer's Almanac, which is predicting cooler temperatures through April, expects the cicadas to come out in mid-May.
Cicadas are also not harmful to humans or gardens, even if the sound they make or their presence can be annoying.
