NOISY SUMMER

CICADAS

The Midwest will be in for a noisy summer because the 17 year cicadas will be emerging from the burrows this year. There are two types of cicadas, one that the larva emerges every seven years to shed the skins to become an adult cicada, also know as a jar fly. The other species stays a larva for 17 years because emerging to become an adult. For some reason, the 17 year cicadas make more noise a night then the 7 year one.
