Join Illinois Extension Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy Educator Jay Solomon on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. for a program: Cicadas 2024 — A Once in a Lifetime Experience being held at the Warren Township Public Library. Learn more about the upcoming May and June appearances of Periodic Cicada Broods XIII and XIX, the life cycle of cicadas, what to expect in our area and why this is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence for most people. Periodical Cicadas are some of the longest-lived insects with either 13 or 17 year life spans that are spent in the soil feeding on tree roots. Jay will address what might be most susceptible in our landscape and how to protect our vulnerable plants.
