A cicada from Brood X is pictured on Maple Ridge Road in Milford Center. The homeowner said that the insects have been emerging from the ground slowly over the past week. Brood X, also known as the Great Eastern Brood, is one of 15 broods of cicadas that appear regularly throughout the United States. Nymphs emerge from the ground every 17 years to mate and lay eggs, then die within several weeks.
