Hacked: yes the site was down part of yesterday because it was hacked. We’re back to normal now. A setback, but, I’m going to post a lot of video and pictures this weekend — I promise.

Locations:

Full force in Homewood, IL
Great emergence in Midlothian, IL
Sublime in La Grange Park, IL
Westchester is a blast!
HORRIBLE! in Lombard (that must mean there are LOTS in Lombard)
Full swing in Highland Park
“Massive amounts, we’re talking thousands upon thousands in Villa Park”
“literally trillions in Western Springs Hinsdale La Grange The Morton Arboretum etc”
HUNDREDS in Glenview
Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, IL
Ear piercing in Westmont, Clarenden Hills, Downers Grove, Hinsdale…
Quite a sight in Goodrich Park in Naperville, IL
I&M Canal and Rt. 6
In the woods by the Cal Sag Channel
Two (2) cicadas at the McBride Raptor Center outside of Iowa City
Thousands at Rogers Lakewood park in Valparaiso
Thousands in Roscoe (on the Wisconsin border, north of Rockford)
10’s of 1000’s in Glenview Illinois

Report from cicada station 60126. Includes photos.

Another account of the cicadas at the Brookfield Zoo and Ryerson Woods. Note: the emergence at Ryerson was just beginning last weekend.

Brood XIII Eye Color Magicicada

One Red Eye, One Blue Eye

Talk about one in a million: Steve Turner found this Magicicada with one red eye and one blue (sort of like a Husky dog or David Bowie). This is one of the highlights of the emergence so far.
