Cicadas

If you thought there were a lot of cicadas in spring 2022, we're being told you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Grab your earplugs! For the first time in over two centuries, two broods of periodical cicadas will emerge simultaneously across parts of Illinois.

The signature of a good and hot summer in Kentucky and throughout the South is the occasional yet sometimes constant din of a brood of cicadas. I mean if it's hot, they are humming like crazy.

Have you seen cicadas, their shells everywhere? I haven't seen a single one yet; but to be honest, I've been forgetting to look. As for their familiar buzzing, I've only heard them twice, and both times I was driving through Ohio County.

Have you ever wondered what a cicada looks like as it breaks free from its shell? Here are some incredible photos of one doing it!
