Across the US, billions of cicadas emerge from their slumber, creating a noisy commotion.
In Illinois, parts will experience an overlap of 13-year and 17-year cicadas.
In the Southern and Midwestern regions of the United States, cicadas are starting to appear.
A 'double brood' of cicadas, a rare event that has not occurred in centuries, is predicted to result in billions of buzzing insects emerging simultaneously.
Dennis Higgins, a cicada enthusiast and granddad, stated that while pushing his 7-month-old grandson, Reese, in a stroller in Western Springs, Illinois, he couldn't pound on their new neighbors' wall and tell them to shut up, but it was okay.
Two species of periodical cicadas, which have spent years underground, will mate and die together in parts of Illinois.
"Although it's a part of life, I hope I'll be here for the next occurrence, which happens once every 17 years and is a fun thing, as Higgins said."
