UPSOUND (English) Dave Andrusyk, Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve:
" Oh, by the way, when you have a cicada crawling on you and it feels like it's it's poking you. That's the dirt. They're on their feet. They have little, claws or like, appendages to help them to grip on that thing. So it allows them to crawl up things and sometimes it on your skin if it's sensitive."

"They are part of this ecosystem, and this ecosystem kind of cannot function without them. It's over millennia, it's been built up to function with them."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Marvin Lo, Researcher at Morton Arboretum:
"They are fertilizing the soil. They are providing nutrients to other animals, to other plants. And all these things are all coming from these cicadas."

"The problem is, these cicadas only come out once every 17 years. So it is very difficult to, you know, keep a long term study like this going because it just takes lifetimes of people doing."

UPSOUND (English) Marvin Lo, Researcher at Morton Arboretum:
"So these bags are the bags that we collected out in our forestry plots, in our little quadrants or off the tree."
20. Marvin Lo emptying collected cicadas into mortar and pestle and grinding cicadas
UPSOUND (English) Marvin Lo, Researcher at Morton Arboretum:
"And then after that process, what we'll do is we'll take the bags and we'll empty 'em into a mortar and pestle and then kind of grind these bodies up. And from that we can use. We can do a little bit of elemental analysis to get their carbon nitrogen ratio."

"So I think what really fascinates me about the cicadas is the role that they play in the system, and how everything you know is intertwined so deeply that we may not realize what role they play, but they are playing an extremely important role in this for us and even in our lives."
