After a 17 - twelvemonth dormancy period , the U.S. East Coast isabout to be overrun by over 30 billion cicadas . This trailer for a documentary - in - the - making will show you what to bear — include a remarkable time - relapse of cicada breaking through their exoskeletons .

It ’s calledReturn of the Cicadas , a flick that ’s being put together by movie maker Samuel Orr . He ’s been work on it since 2007 , chronicling every aspect of the insect ’s unparalleled 17 - year lifecycle . Quite obviously , this year is a big year for Orr , as the cicadas are set to come out from the ground en masse .
To help him polish off the documentary , Orr has launched aKickstartercampaign . He ’s hoping to heighten $ 20,000 , which will enable him to produce more time - lapsing footage .
As for the preview trailer , I encourage you to determine the whole thing . But at the very least , do yourself a favor and spring to the 2:20 mark and look on as the cicala transmute themselves from terrestrial crawlers into winged insect .
