Ticks and mosquitoes may get all the credit for being dangerous bugs you need to watch out for in Wisconsin, but it turns out the state is home to 6 more.
They are coming. It won't be long now before both Missouri and Illinois are dealing with one of the largest cicada invasions in recent memory and new maps show where they'll be landing.
There are many in Illinois that remember a time decades ago when cicadas were so thick, people had to remove them with snow shovels. Believe it or not, the incoming cicada army in 2024 will make that look like a minor event as experts say the Land of Lincoln is about to see more cicadas than it's seen in more than 200 years.
I am not a fan of bugs. I know they serve a needed purpose, but I'd prefer they do it in a different place than I am. I found the first of many stink bugs near my home in Missouri recently which reminded me this invasive pest is back in force. Experts are trying to convince me to let them live. Let's see if they're successful.
