"LUTHERVILLE, Md. — The Brood X cicadas are emerging in Maryland as they started showing up in greater numbers over the weekend in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

So far, they've been seen but not heard -- and that's going to change very soon.

'(It's) like an old friend coming back,' said John Forrester.

People around the area are spotting an increasing number of cicadas crawling on trees and shedding their exoskeleton. And, for the most part, they are happy to see them."
