I don't remember what year it was but one season in Chicago there was a 17 year and 7 year bloom. They were all over the place. We took the kids to the Botanical Garden and the sidewalks were covered in them. the local news services were publishing recipes for cooking them. Seems that their best et right when they come out of the shell before they take to flight. It was the first year I saw and heard of Cicada Killers!
