TAPPER: Welcome back to THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. Finally, in what we call our Buried Lead, we call it that, those are stories not getting enough attention, but in this case it's literal. Buried are coming alive. If you're not northeastern part of the nation, you will be getting some noisy visitors next month, billions of them to be more exact. Cicadas are back. After spending 17 years underground feasting on plant roots, three different species of cicadas, all grown up and ready to emerge looking for mates which means they will be louder and more annoying than ever. Those breeding calls are among the loudest noises in the animal kingdom. If you live in Maryland, here in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia or West Virginia, congratulations, you're going to have some of the best seats to the concert. But it's not all bad. Some of us may think cicadas are annoying or creepy, perhaps. Some of us have private theories that they're actually aliens. But in some parts of the world they're considered to be good luck. Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter @jaketapper or tweet the show @theleadcnn. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I'll be back at 8 p.m. for live coverage of New York primary results. Turning you over now to Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper. They are in "THE SITUATION ROOM."
