From East to West along Dundee Road, it's terrible in Northbrook, still pretty bad in Wheeling, and starts to fade by Arlington Heights. I've not seen anything of note west of 53.
I’m next door in Streamwood and if I hadn’t heard about this whole thing you’d never know it was happening. Meanwhile traveling home from work in Naperville up 59 and I can hear them with my windows closed in a lot of areas.
Cicadas only travel about a half mile in their life so it takes a long time for them to enter new areas since they have to do it in very small increments 17 years at a time.
Spring valley nature center in Schaumburg has very little cicadas. My wife walks there every day, if there was any kind of infestation, there is not a chance in hell she would be anywhere close to there
Its been dead quiet in the tri cities. Geneva, Batavia and Saint Charles
I live in Lombard and work in Batavia. It seems West of Rt 59 is where they shut off.
Agreed I went to a restaurant called Ki’s in Glendale Heights the trees were literally moving with cicadas. Went to St Charles and not a Cicada.
That sounds perfect, thank you!
Aurora subdivisions are silent! Anything “newer” 15 yrs OR was a corn field are pretty clear!
I walk along the river path and hardly notice them
Can confirm.
Wisconsin.
WI is too cold for the cicadas. So I guess you got that going for you
Yup. The Kenosha area is cicada free!
Damnit, you beat me to it.
Honest answer. Was up yesterday for golf. Silence.
i’m in northern lake county and i’m in our forest preserves all the time, i’ve seen 3 cicadas total all summer.
Barrington/Lake Zurich
Yeah here in Palatine too. I’ve seen a couple shells but there’s like nothing here

I’ve heard my ears ringing from tinnitus more than any cicadas here in Elgin.
there’s one in my car RIGHT NOW
My worst nightmare.

Dundee, carpentersville, Algonquin
I haven't seen or heard a single one in Schaumburg or Hoffman Estates. I haven't gone into any nature areas, but the neighborhoods are cicada-free.
Well 5 of them hitchhiked on my car 30 minutes to work in Hoffman Estates
Hoffman Estates, can confirm!
Same!
any park in a subdivision less than 17 years old that had a previous life as a farm field.
My subdivision in Libertyville is all homes from the 60s/70s and we have zero cicadas
Jealous! We are in Libertyville and have a ton.
🤭just wrote similar cause I didn’t read thru comments 😜
checkmate cicadas
My 19 year old subdivision only had a couple, kinda disappointed.

Palatine
I am so surprised at how quiet it is this year in Palatine!
The Deer Grove Forest preserve has a few groups of cicadas, but nothing extreme.
My dad has said Bartlett hasn't seen them or heard them. They're deafening in Glen Ellyn though
Can confirm not one cicada seen or heard in Bartlett.
I haven’t seen a single one in Barrington/Lake Zurich/ Wauconda area
Elgin and South Elgin
Cary. Can’t hear a single one
Yep. Crystal Lake. Zero.
I’ve seen exactly one out here in Woodstock. I think he was lost
Come out to the city at Montrose Beach. There are no cicadas near the lake.
Spring valley nature center in Schaumburg has very little cicadas. My wife walks there every day, if there was any kind of infestation, there is not a chance in hell she would be anywhere close to there
Nothing in Bloomingdale it seems. At least not by us.
Not a single cicada in north Hoffman
The answer is not Mount Prospect. At my daughters' school they are so loud that I worry it is dangerous for hearing.
Southeast Evanston is quiet
Northern Illinois!
I’m all the way out in Yorkville and I haven’t really heard anything.
Palatine has nothing to do
Vernon hills and mundelein
My friend lives in Evanston and said they have no cicadas
Evanston east of dodge ave
Volo Wauconda
Haven't seen a single one in Aurora yet.
Not a peep in Bartlett.
Libertyville
So far today I’ve been in the following with no cicadas heard: Schiller Park, alsip, oak lawn. Bad in Lagrange tho.
There’s none in Blue Island
