[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 50875, member: 1697"] I have been eagerly awaiting the emergence of the cicadas here...(northern IL) BUT I have not seen a single one! I am in a rural county, and it is very wooded, and I expected to see a lot. But thinking back, 17 years ago we also had very few here at our house. Not sure why. Our local paper has even commented on it that there aren't any and noone knows why? I grew up in Cook County and 34 years ago and I remember they were so thick on the ground....and I went camping with GS in tents and we were thrilled to have the thick carpet of them.....LOL. I was hoping to see some for my son for homeschooling....Maybe we should take a field trip? I have never eaten one, but I have heard if an area has been sprayed with lawn chemicals or weed killers, fertilizers or insecticides, if you eat the cicadas you could get ill. - and so could your pets if they eat any.
