Rare Blue-eyed Cicada Insect Sighted in Chicago, USA

A rare blue-eyed Cicada insect was sighted in the Morton Arboretum’s Children’s Garden in Illinois, the United States of America.

Few saw the cicada at the arboretum before its release back into suburban Chicago to join its red-eyed relatives.

The common look of cicadas is having red eyes, which makes the insect observed in the arboretum a rare sighting.

Periodical cicadas emerge every 13 or 17 years. Only the 17-year brood is beginning to show so far in spots as far north in Illinois as Lisle, where three different species are digging out of the ground, attaching to trees, shedding their exoskeleton and putting on a show, the Associated Press reported. — ONA
