GWCA is wondering if we have any professional or hobby entomologists in the neighborhood. Please connect with us at info@gracelandwest.org.
This May and June, the Northern Illinois Brood, or Brood XIII and the Great Southern Brood, Brood XIX will both be out in force in the greater Chicago area. “The world hasn’t seen cicadas like this since 1803“, but according to our friends at Illinois Extension (see attachment) “besides the noise, which may be substantial, this large group of insects is harmless and can be appreciated and enjoyed by nature lovers of all ages.”
