2021 Georgia cicada-geddon overlapped two broods, increasing copperhead snake visibility due to cicada feeding.
2021's "cicada-geddon" in Georgia brought an overlap of two cicada broods, including the 13-year Great Southern brood, leading to increased visibility of copperhead snakes as they feed on cicadas. These snakes are venomous but generally have mild venom and are not deadly. Copperheads are more likely to be seen while cicadas are active at night, as they crawl out under plants and up trees.
