The cicadas are coming! The 2024 double brood emergence will bring billions of cicadas to northern Illinois. But what do you actually know about these cyclical critters?

When they emerge as adults, both females and males only live about a month above ground before dying.Cicadas are notoriously loud insects. The buzzing song they make can reach up to 90 decibels, about the sound of a loud lawn mower or a motorcycle. While this reproductive cycle won't damage mature trees, new trees can be damaged by the females' cuts and egg-laying process.
There are perhaps 3,000 to 5,000 species of cicadas around the world, but the 13- and 17-year periodical cicadas of the eastern U.S. appear to be unique in combining long juvenile development times underground with synchronized, mass adult emergences. There are two other known periodical cicadas in the world, one in northeast India and one in Fiji, but these have only four-year and eight-year life cycles, respectively.As species, periodical cicadas are older than the forests that they inhabit.
In northern Illinois for 2024, scientists had pegged May 15 as the date that the brood was most likely to emerge, as they require soil temperatures of 64 degrees Fahrenheit to do so. But with a warmer-than-average winter and spring, residents started reporting some cicadas emerging in their area by mid-April.
