Although commonly called 17 year locusts, or 13 year locusts, cicada are not locusts. Instead of having mouthparts for biting and chewing like a locust, Cicadas are by far the largest members of a great family of insects which have mouth parts for sucking the juices of plants. Cicadas are more closely related to insects such as the spittle bugs, leaf hoppers, scale insects, and the aphids or plant lice.
2004 is the year of the cicada in Indiana. Noisy emergences are also expected in Maryland in 2004, and Missouri (Search for Missouri). Nationwide, only 6 or so states each year experience the emergence of these insects.
