I heard Neos with their high pitch son in Dixon Springs and Shawnee Natl IL 2024 if anyone is tracking the neo locations.
Last month noticed a big bug similar to a grasshopper, but bigger. This year I’ve killed at least eight or nine. Smaller ones were gray with orange on their back. The most are very large, yellow.I kept two of the latest in a glass jar. I was viewing a local Television station this morning when they talked about the cicada bug in South America that were in the ground since 1700. I’ve heard wild things on TV, so I searched this web site. I read where the cicada does change colors. I’m eighty six years of age. Trying to keep busy through this “stay at home” time, and working in my yard that I sit each morning with a cup of coffee. Nothing crawls around my home… but ME.
