		<description><![CDATA[	We didn&#8217;t know it at the time, but it seems our neighborhood heard its last Annual Cicada of 2009 on Friday, October 9th. Then freezing temperatures over Columbus Day weekend killed off whatever adult cicadas remained in Oak Park&#8217;s trees.
	As promised, we&#8217;ve been blogging about cicadas on Neighborhood Nature: Our Family&#8217;s Nature Blog. Here&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Late yesterday&#160;morning, Monday, July 28, we finally heard the third species of Annual Cicada singing&#160;in our neighborhood: Tibicen canicularis. Go to this page to hear its song: http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/fauna/michigan_cicadas/Michigan/Index.html#Tibicen_canicularis&#160;
	Three species of Annual Cicada is what we usually hear in a summer. Now we&#8217;ll keep listening, though, and see if we can hear a fourth species, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	One Friday, July 25, Dad walked out on the front porch at about 12 Noon and heard our neighborhood&#8217;s second species of Annual Cicada for 2008: Tibicen linnei. (Sorry, cicada species don&#8217;t have common names.) To hear what this species sounds like, go to this web page: http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/fauna/michigan_cicadas/Michigan/Index.html#Tibicen_linnei&#160;

		<description><![CDATA[	Late yesterday afternoon we heard our first Annual Cicada of&#160;the year&#160;here in south Oak Park, Illinois. It was a Tibicen pruinosa singing in an ash tree by the fire station,&#160;three blocks from our house.&#160;About an hour before sunset we heard a couple of the same species singing in trees just west of our backyard.

		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s one year after the big emergence of Periodical Cicadas in the Chicago area, but we&#8217;ve been listening for latecomers as we birdwatch this year. Yesterday, June 21,&#160;Ethan, Aaron, and Dad&#160;heard our second species of Periodical Cicada for 2008 &#8212; the one that reminds&#160;us of&#160;a flying saucer.&#160;We heard it while we were watching swallows under [...]]]></description>

	However, an adult Periodical Cicada was reported on June 8 from Palos Park, southwest [...]]]></description>
