*puts on nerd-thick reading glasses with tape on the frame* The ones that were in Gatlinburg last year included the annual or periodical genuses Tibicen, Diceroprocta, or Okanagana. Brood XIX will be a swarm of slightly smaller cicada, such a high concentration that wildlife of all kinds will feast to their heart's content and there will still be leftovers for us to drive over and step on. If the swarm is thick this year, it means our ecosystem has faired well the past 13 years and humans have not paved over too many of the larvae.
