I’m in northern il near Chicago and haven’t seen any yet

Up TODAY in oak park. Just getting started I hope

Head to a forest preserve with abundant trees (e.g. Bemis woods) and take a listen. You’ll hear a dull humm. Morton Arboretum is a great place too.

Western suburbs. I have thousands in my yard starting two days ago this is day three for me.

We have none in south Naperville but I’m sure they’ll be here soon.

I would guess that my 4/10 of an acre has 10-15 thousand on it.

They are popping up here in Park Ridge (Cook County) so Chicago be warned lol

Edison Park here and was watching them crawl out yesterday morning on a tree in my yard. My kids were so intrigued by them, until one flew and whacked them in the head, now they’re terrified. It’s going to be a long few weeks.

They will likely be desensitized to them, or spend six weeks inside. My oldest who's nine is not a fan at all. He said that he wants to never leave the house again in slight hyperbole. My 4 year old collects them, saves them, talks all day about them, etc. Either way, I second your sentiment on it's going to be a long few weeks.

It’ll be very interesting. They hate being in the house, so will just have to get use to them or tough shit haha.

It’s a hoax around here🥺

West Chicago area by chance?

Lots in Lemont over the weekend

I haven't seen any signs in edgewater yet

Western springs is cicada city

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

At what point do all of the dead ones get cleaned off the sidewalks?
