My favorite bit of #Cicada hilarity is still the #DuPageCountyForestPreserve's cicada-free explanation of the insect's life cycle.

Exactly how loud are the #cicadas this year?
Well... I haven't seen or heard many at all near me in #AuroraIllinois, myself. But sections of the #Chicago suburbs are already seeing-- and hearing!-- a lot of them.
One Facebook friend in #Warrenville #Illinois posted this image of her SmartWatch, which was taking a sound measurement of the ones near her. (She has the red-eyed 17-year brood in her yard.)
Another commenter in northern Illinois said that it's as loud as if they're attending a rock concert.

A proof quarter (notice the S) and a cicada at the carwash, lol.
We got change from a carwash in Durham -- $8 IN QUARTERS. I'm less mad about that now. Fun find that won't grade well. Desperate times call for cracking open your proof sets.
And of course a cicada. They're flying around.

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.

I couldn't fit the video - it's on my Instagram post either way. The phone doesn't do the sound justice, but you get an idea.
Here's more on the double brood situation from NCSU:

Not #bjj but look at these #cicadas !
I was in the woods today and forgot how relaxing it is to just sit there still and quiet and watch. It was quite loud out there! Saw them flying, heard them coming out from under the leaf litter, heard the collective hum and individual noises. Best stress relief.

Here's more on the double brood situation from NCSU:

Periodical cicadas belonging to two separate broods, Brood XIII and Brood XIX, will emerge together in a dual emergence event that will see a trillion cicadas buzzing across 16 U.S. states.
