A Virginia resident has captured images and videos of cicadas taking over his garden in overwhelming numbers.

Jeff Herge, 50, from Herndon snapped pictures of the insects as they emerged from the ground and then covered his fences and trees. Periodical cicadas are an insect species from the genus Magicicada that emerge from the ground only every 13 or 17 years across eastern North America.
