Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weeklyAccording to Adams, the emergence of the first cicadas comes about two weeks ahead of the historic average. It will continue to be sporadic, as soil temperature, mulch and turf grass all impact cicadas differently. For example, the soil is warmer near pavement, so cicadas in the those spots are expected to emerge quicker.
“You are looking for netting that is no bigger than quarter inch across, any bigger the cicadas can climb through and defeats the purpose of protecting them,” said Spencer Campbell, Plant Clinic Manager. "Cicadas also may lay eggs in some shrubs, such as rose, lilac, and forsythia," the Arboretum said."They tend to avoid conifers such as pine, spruce, and fir."
