Where Are All The Cicadas In The Quad Cities?

(Davenport, IA) -- It was supposed to be deafening.

The buzz of two broods of cicadas emerging together in the Midwest for the first time in 200 years. But right now in the Quad Cities... crickets.

So where are they?

Tommy McElrath with the Illinois Natural History Survey tells WQAD News 8 that some have emerged in the Loud Thunder Forest Preserve near Illinois City. But McElrath says if the cicadas in question weren't here 13 or 17 years ago, they won't be here now.

We may still see other broods of cicadas emerge later this summer.
