I recall being in Maryland when Brood X seventeen-year locusts emerged. That was probably the summer of 1987. They were not unattractive when they first came out of their shells, with their white bodies, red eyes, and greenish-yellow wings.
It now occurs to me that "Brood X" sounds like the title of a horror movie.

It does! I never thought of that before. That sounds like the first year or so I remember in NC?
