Some parts of northern Illinois are still in the noisy throes of the 17-year cicada emergence. In other areas…not a peep. So for our listeners suffering from cicada envy, WNIJ’s Susan Stephens trekked out to a DeKalb County forest preserve to learn about the six-legged noisemakers from nature educator and cicada super-fan, Peggy Anesi. She's with the University of Illinois Extension and based at Russell Woods Forest Preserve in Genoa.
