Patrons at the Chicago Botanic Garden may be there to check out the beauty and wonder of the plant life they can see above the ground. But just below the ground, something else is going on.The folks at the Botanic Garden told WBBM they’re already seeing signs of cicadas preparing to emerge.'I'm actually finding that they're starting to prepare their emergence holes.
'The mud cap is really when they dig their little hole up upward, they are kind of pushing the soil upward as they emerge. And then if the soil is a little bit wet as they kind of push out, they'll push the mud around the side and they really don't want to emerge,' Tiddens said.He said the bugs 'leave a little dome on top' of the soil where their hole is located in the ground.When the cicadas emerge depends on the warmth of the dirt underground.
