For the first time in 221 years a rare cicada emergence will take place in Illinois in 2024. While you may be tempted to eat them, they could be deadly for some.
There are many in Illinois that remember a time decades ago when cicadas were so thick, people had to remove them with snow shovels. Believe it or not, the incoming cicada army in 2024 will make that look like a minor event as experts say the Land of Lincoln is about to see more cicadas than it's seen in more than 200 years.
There was a surprising star of the Owensboro Multicultural Festival over the weekend. A molting cicada set up shop at one of the exhibitor booths and put on quite a show.
