Good Morning,
My wife and I are planning to visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from May 16 thru May 23 and have a concern if the area will be infested with the cicada brood X outbreak that is expected this spring. I doing some research the upper peninsula is included and in looking at others it appears that the out break would not go that far north. We are hoping you will be able to advise us if this could be a problem during the time frame of our trip.
Thank you.

They don't normally go that far north. See https://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/docs/CicadaBroodStaticMap.pdf for a map of the expected area.
