Believe it or not, your art inadvertently helped save at least two lives.

Oh, well I hope whoever they are I hope they'll continue to do better.

We have to stay here for the Cicadas, man, Brood XIII and XIX will be emerging together this summer; they haven't come out at the same time in 221 years ( 1803 ). It's a historical event and you'll be able to witness it too if you keep going.

Some periodical cicada sketches from the surprise emergence we had in our area this year--I wasn’t expecting to see any until 2024, but these guys were running either pretty early or very late!

I've been stitching some cicadas lately. This year is going to be a big one for the screaming bugs!

For those interested in making their own cross stitched cicadas, the patterns are available for sale here and here! (Please note: my software skills mean that I had to freehand the AAAAAs rather than place them in the pattern itself, so those are not included in the patterns. This does mean that you can make these little guys uniquely your own and add any sort of scream that you'd like, though!)

Great news for anyone in the brown or light blue areas! You may be seeing a whole lot of cicadas in spring :)

These 13 and 17-year periodical cicadas are in the genus Magicicada and will look just like those from brood X a few years ago:

Note: Some of brood XIII emerged early in 2020, so if you were in the Chicago area at the time, you may have seen some.

The Double-Emergence of 2024

As you may have heard, there are TWO periodical cicada broods that will emerge between late April and June of this year! This particular combination only happens once every 221 years.

The broods in question are the Illinoian Brood (XIII) and the Great Southern Brood (XIX). The map below is a rough approximation of where sightings are most likely to occur:

There is very little overlap between the broods, so - if you want to experience both - I recommend planning at least two different stops. You should be able to find all seven species by traveling just a few miles north and south of the cities of Springfield, Bloomington, Kankakee, or Beardstown in Illinois, or the city of Mt Pleasant in Iowa.

The University of Connecticut has a handy online guide for identifying all 7 species of periodical cicadas. Note that most species can only be identified by the pattern on their belly. For bonus points, try to find and photograph them all! 😄
