There have been no shortage of cicada sightings across the Chicago area as the emergence begins in force, but there could be more coming thanks to storms…
The stormy weather brought with it a rise in humidity levels, which were one of the factors involved in triggering cicadas' emergence from underground, according to the Insect Asylumacross the Chicago area as the emergence begins in force, but there could be more coming thanks to storms Monday.
The emergence was expected to be sporadic in the Chicago area as many waited for soil temperatures to warm. According to some experts, the emergence started about two weeks ahead of the historic average. It will continue to be sporadic, however, as soil temperature, mulch, turf grass and humidity all impact cicadas differently. For example, the soil is warmer near pavement, so cicadas in the those spots are expected to emerge quicker.
