2024 is a big year for periodical cicadas. They'll be emerging in May for the first time in 17 years throughout northern Illinois. This is a short, but very interesting entomological event worth enjoying. In this presentation we will discuss the fascinating biology and feeding habits of the periodical cicada, egg laying preferences, susceptible woody plant species, and potential for damage to young trees and shrubs, and natural pruning of mature trees. Practical management methods will be presented for both members of the green industry and homeowners
Dr. Fredric Miller is Senior Scientist - Entomology at The Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois and currently serves as the acting Illinois DNR Forest Health specialist.
