Re: Cicada invasion...

They may not be in IA. There was a big article in our paper about the cicadas and this particular "brood" (each brood, or emergence, is numbered by entomologists...can't remember which number this one is) will mainly be in the East. The last big emergence in western IL was in 1998, if I remember correctly.

Bonnie, no protection needed - except for your ears. They won't
hurt<br>anything. In fact, I was surprised you wrote, "this is a very
bad year for<br>Cicada's ". It's a very GOOD year for them. All you
folks that run out in<br>the middle of the night to stare into the sky
at something far away like<br>Mars - why wouldn't you want to see a
penomenon happening right here?<br>Pretty neat!<br>Kitty<br><br>-----
