COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Their droning love songs have faded, the skies are free of their tumbling flights and the carcasses that littered sidewalks have washed away. The Brood X cicadas, vintage 2004, are gone. [[continued]

An interesting critter. When I was 16 and we moved to Northern California, our neighbor had this absolutely huge plant that produced a flower like nothing I had ever seen. When it didn't bloom the next year and we asked her why she said that it only blooms about every 100 years. I think it was called a century plant, or a century cactus. Must google.
