Two Blue-Eyed Cicadas found in Chicagoland, by the same family!
It was first discovered by four-year-old Jack Bailey, who found it in his family's yard in Wheaton, Illinois. His 14-year-old sister, Caroline, noticed its blue eyes and showed it to their mom, Greta Bailey.
They let the cicada go; then discovering how rare it was went to find it again. They either found the same one, or another blue-eyes.
In a different neighborhood, another blue-eyes was found 🩵

One of the rare, blue-eyed cicadas was donated to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, the first in the museum's collection.
