RUTHERFORD COUNTY, TN - It may be one of the most talked-about phenomenons in Middle Tennessee. The return of the Cicadas in Mid May. Agriculture Extension Agent Mitchel Mote said the last time we had two Cicada broods return the same year, we had a different President in office.
Agent Mote sheds more light on this fascinating event. After the insects mate and the females lay their eggs, death follows. After that, life of the Cicada won't be seen again for another 13-years in Rutherfo .
While we don’t know the exact timing of when the cicadas in Illinois will emerge, there are a few clues to look for and one is right under your feet.
Two periodical cicada broods are set to emerge from the ground in Illinois simultaneously this spring, marking a rare event that hasn't been seen in centuries.
2024's cicada emergence is on the horizon, and if your dog is as excited about eating cicadas as mine, you're going to want to know how to keep them safe.
