Brood X (brood 10) is one of thirty broods of periodical cicadas that appear regularly throughout the eastern United States. Every 17 years, Brood X tunnels en masse to the surface of the ground, lays eggs, and then dies off in several weeks.

Its most recent appearance was in the spring and early summer of 2004 throughout an area roughly enclosed by Illinois, New York and Georgia. The next two appearances will be in 2021 and 2038. [1]
