At the end of the day, these unique little creatures inspire fear and irritation for many. One thing that they will all have in common is experiencing cicadas’ life cycle, which only happens mainly on the east coast for every 13 or 17 years.

You could rephrase it as:
'Cicadas are a unique species of insect because they have 13 or 17 year life cycles. They live mainly on the east coast of the US and their emergence can cause irritation, and sometimes even fear, for those who live in this region.'

These unique, little creatures inspire fear and irritation for many, especially experiencing, mainly on the east coast, cicadas' life cycle, occuring there every 13 or 17 years.
