They taste like shrimp

Cicadas ×2 + tinnitus should drive me insane.

I've heard they make good fishing lures, but have never gone down that path.

Bass love them.

Dogs love to eat them too. Brother used to freeze them and give as snacks to his dogs during the rest of the year.

Still waiting for the cicada apocalypse.

I think I saw where most of Indiana won't be getting the double whammy. Illinois, or at least parts of it will IIRC.

I was thinking I saw a map awhile back that included us in the apololypse?

Seems like the last big outbreak we had was in full swing by now. Those bugs were loud that year.

It's been a bit since I saw it and I don't remember where it was. I was thinking that southern Indiana might get it, so you may be affected.

Coulda been.

Coulda been.

This map doesn't show us getting much of anything.

Cicadas have begun to emerge, and their mating song has begun to fill the Illinois air. When will the cicadas be gone?

That's just brood XIII, not the double emergence they've been talking about.

"The U.S. Forest Service predicted an emergence of Brood XIII cicadas, a 17-year occurrence, in northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, northwestern Indiana, southwestern Michigan and eastern Iowa. At the same time, 13-year Brood XIX cicadas are emerging in central Illinois and much of Missouri. Parts of central Illinois may see an overlap of the two broods."

So far nothing more than crickets. But we get cicadas every year. Just not buying the hype

I have an acre near Lowell in south lake county and most of my trees have thousands of live and dead ones around the base of each one. I know several people within 10 miles of me that have none. They are so loud that they are making people crazy. A neighbor went kind of nuts from the noise and started harassing other neighbors and they had to call the cops on him,

I have a friend in the Lowell area that shared a picture of her peony bush absolutely covered with them.
