Naperville Resident Reports on Cicadas

Chris reports from Naperville:

Just wanted to send you an email to report on areas where my wife and I have seen cicadas emerge.

Downers Grove

Elmhurst

Villa Park

Lombard

Glen Ellyn

NW Side of Chicago (adjacent to Schiller Woods)
Schiller Woods
Hillside (Queen of Heaven cemetery)

My wife and I drove through Elmhurst today, and the numbers were incredible with the males in full throat - the sound was almost deafening.

We have seen some deformed cicadas at most of these locations - not sure if this is normal and there will always be a percentage of these. By deformed, most seem to have extremely small wings that don't seem to form properly.
