[locustream] 17yr. cicadas has ended - Locustream

7 Jul 2007


      The Brood XIII, 17-yr. cicada activity in the Chicago area has all 
but ended.  What remains are dead insects all over the ground. 
Hence, tomorrow (Saturday 7 July) will be the last day of the stream.
The National Public Radio affiliate in Chicago did a feature on the 
stream today.  You can hear it here:

If you missed hearing the stream and can't wait until the next brood 
in 2024, or you did listen but would like to reminisce, I put up a 
page of selected excerpts here:
