As spring comes around get ready to hear cicadas on every street corner. Around one billion cicadas are set to hatch on May 27. If you live in New York, the chances are you\u2019ll only see this phenomenon four times in your life – since it only happens every 17 years.<\/p>\n

Cicadas have a very short life span, giving them just enough time to find a male and to lay between 400 and 600 eggs in the trees. The eggs only hatch 17 years later, in spring, when the temperature reaches 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The last time eggs were laid was back in 1996.<\/p>\n

So, with New York taking on a Provence-style atmosphere, are you growing impatient as you wait to hear the cicadas\u2019 song? Well, you may be a bit disappointed. American cicadas sound a little different to their Proven\u00e7al cousins (and, to tell the truth, they actually seem a bit threatening)\u2026Listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are you doing on the 27th?<\/p>\n

Quand New York se prend pour la Provence\u2026<\/p>\n

Au printemps soyez pr\u00eat \u00e0 entendre des cigales \u00e0 tous les coins de rues. L\u2019\u00e9closion d\u2019environ 1 milliard de cigales est pr\u00e9vue le 27 mai. Si vous habitez NYC, vous allez voir ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne 4 fois seulement dans votre vie \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que \u00e7a n\u2019arrive qu\u2019une fois tous les 17 ans.<\/p>\n

Les cigales ont une dur\u00e9e de vie tr\u00e8s courte, juste le temps de rencontrer un male et de pondre entre 400 et 600 \u0153ufs dans les arbres. L\u2019\u00e9closion des \u0153ufs ne se fait que 17 ans plus tard, au printemps, lorsque la temp\u00e9rature de la terre atteint 16 degr\u00e9 Celsius. La derni\u00e8re ponte d\u2019\u0153uf date de 1996.<\/p>\n

Alors New York prend des airs de Provence et vous \u00eates impatients d\u2019\u00e9couter les chants des cigales ? Vous allez peut-\u00eatre \u00eatre un peu d\u00e9\u00e7u. Les cigales am\u00e9ricaines chantent un peu diff\u00e9remment (et \u00e0 vrai dire, elles semblent un peu mena\u00e7antes)\u2026Ecouter ici<\/a>.<\/p>\n
