Well, this isn't good news...As we near the cicada season, some experts are saying Illinois will be the cicada capital of the US when the hoards arrive. Here are the details you need to know...
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.
For the first time in 221 years a rare cicada emergence will take place in Illinois in 2024. While you may be tempted to eat them, they could be deadly for some.
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'll confess I don't exactly understand what I'm about to show you. It's a dead cicada in Illinois that has almost no body left, but it moves and I have video to prove it.
