Return of the cicadas

They're back! After 17 years, the cicadas have returned to disgust us. Living in the middle of an urban jungle, I hadn't seen any until I went down to Beverly over the weekend. As one of Chicago's older neighborhoods, Beverly has dozens of beautiful old trees that are prime habitats for those pesky insects.

Last time the cicadas were here, I was too young to be aware of it - so this time, my curiousity got the better of me and I had to snap a few photos. Something to remember them by for the next 17 years...
