2024 saw the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area and the emergence of 13-year cicadas in some nearby areas. This was the first time since Thomas Jefferson was president in 1803 that both had emerged in the same year. I loved watching them fly through my backyard and even though their wings are actually orange, when the sun was on them they looked like gold.
