Bug spray ineffective on cicadas [Beacon News] “Officials: Pesticides won’t do any good in warding off the bugs”. That’s what I’ve been saying all along. I was watching CNN last night and they said that there are so few bees left in North America to pollinate our food plants, that we have to import our food from South America and China (China!?!). No sense killing any more bees in the process of trying to kill a cicada.

WE WITNESSED SOME OF THE CICADAS EMERGING SATURDAY NIGHT (19TH) AROUND 9:00PM IN OUR FRONT YARD AND A FEW BLOCKS AWAY IN MY RELATIVES YARD.WE DID NOT SEE ANY EMERGING IN OUR BACK YARD WHERE ITS MORE WOODED WITH LOTS OF MUD CHIMMNEYS AND EXIT HOLES. TONIGHT SHOULD BE THE NIGHT!
there so scary! and uglyyy.how can they be so lovable??
On a walk this evening we saw lots of nymphs emerging in Brookfield, IL south of the train tracks west of Prairie Ave. but when we crossed north of the tracks and went east into Kiwanis Park there were no nymphs emerging. Can the ground temperature be that different just blocks apart?
Thanks, I updated it.
