My local #ForestPreserve people have gone #viral for their comedy here...

Even if you're bug-phobic, you can watch this one without worries. No actual #cicada images are used to illustrate this "Lifecycle of the 17-Year Cicada" (produced by my local #DuPage County Forest Preserve District). There is very good reason why this wacky video is going viral on other platforms, and even earned a shout-out from #StephenColbert.

3,000 acres will be added to forest preserve if Cook County voters OK tax hike, officials say

Property owners would be asked to pay about $1.50 more a month in taxes toward the preserves, which became a haven during the pandemic.
