A large brood of periodical cicadas — insects that spend 17 years underground before surfacing to mate — are emerging right on schedule in parts of the U.S. northeast. The CBC's Paul Hunter takes a tour with a cicada watcher who is fascinated by the loud and lusty insects, and talks to another man who thinks the buzzing bugs are a tasty treat.
