Cicada experts funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) discussed the biology, economic impact, geographic distribution and genetics of the Brood X periodical cicadas at a May 11, 2004, press briefing at NSF's headquarters in Arlington, Va. The large, winged insects began emerging from the ground in May. They appear by the trillions across the northeast and mid-west every 17 years.
