I don't know. I've been paying attention to the '17 year locusts' since 1970, I was 13. My brother ⅞was 17. We picked them up by their wings and smashed them to the ground, there were so many of them, it was hard to sit outside and have a conversation, the bugs were so loud!
I have lived in the same area all of my life, Lehigb Valley, Pa. Each 17 years, they became less and less, and in 2021, I MAY have heard a few, and I sit outside pretty much every night from spring to early winter.
In 2021 there was an article in The Morning Call (daily paper) about it, but it never happened. I don't know any reasons for it.
