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 was a surprising star of the Owensboro Multicultural Festival over the weekend. A molting cicada set up shop at one of the exhibitor booths and put on quite a show.
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.
