Cicadas: Hello and Goodbye. It feels like Brood XIX just arrived but experts believe that these red-eyed creatures should be dead and gone by the end of June. They waited 13 years for this moment and will no longer exist in a few weeks. It’s a good lesson on patience and making the most of every day.
