Forestry workers in Illinois donned insect costumes and put on award-worthy performances in a hilarious explainer video released on May 1 that details how 17-year periodical cicadas will emerge from the ground in the weeks ahead.
The comical video from the DuPage County Forest Preserve District features staff members pretending to be cicadas as they emerge from the soil, climb up trees, and try to attract mates, as the district’s ecology supervisor, Tom Velat, talks through the life cycle of the cicadas.
This should seriously be submitted for Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film and it should seriously win.
Agreed. And Steve Carell does an exceptional job with the narration.
Where's the loud mating reenactment? (Joking!)
F*** it. I'm in!
Please make these enactments a series
I love and miss Illinois! I learned about Cicada there! It’s so amazing you guys acting this out!! You deserve all the cicada glory!
Love the reenactment 😂
This is the best thing I've ever seen on CZcams
Thank you for this illustration. Unfortunately, I am still terrified of them.😂
Excellent video! Well done. Proof that bug-nerds have a sense of humor. I love it!
👍👍What a hoot!!"Hey, if I was a fruit fly ..."
I've got so many women this way.
This is classic! Thank you, Illinois Forestry Staff, for being informative and highly entertaining!!! Good job!
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a good while. Thank you for making me laugh while educating me.
Hilarious! Yet, educational! Brilliant!
Really cute. I liked it a lot. But need a little work on cicada pick-up lines. Try, "Did you just crawl out of a hole? 'Cuz you look FLY!!" "Flick a little closer, babe!" "I've been waiting for you for 17 years (or 13 years, as the brood may be)!" "I like big ovipositors and I cannot lie!"
That last one was too funny.
These comments didn't pass the vibe check. I enjoyed the crap out of this video, thank you!
This is fantastic!
this is great!
More. Ideas like this should be shown in school on various subjects. Kids would pay more attention and actually learn something
Hilarious. Well done.
I'm surprised to not see Isabella Rossellini.
Loved it, thanks!
I think they are fascinating. Such an odd life span. But they are loud when they emerge.
What a gem…!
That was great! Yes, I agree it should be submitted for the best live action short film.
Y'all hear them thangs boy sounds wild from Western Kentucky 🇺🇲

This is the best.
BEST EVER!!!!!
That was a fun video!
Lol that joke
Acid Trip Man🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is a absolutely hilarious
one insect species enactment down; 1,019,000 insect species enactments to go
Waiting for the breeding demo
I was wondering how they were going to pull that off. Too classy of a reenactment for that though.
So when do we get the next episode?
These things are HUGE!!!! Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Science is mesmerizing. Excuse my ignorance, but could you clarify which brood is depicted?
Very informative
What's worse, a Cicada cycle, or an election cycle?
no wash no rinse cycle; that's worse
Menstruation cycle?
Elections are much noisier
LOL
Election…hands down!
This is really goofy!!
LOL
Looks like Eric Pay lol
Hilarious.
Oh haha very funny
Too funny, I'm 💀
Must be the PG version lol
Cute
I watched this 2:40 min video to see the re-enactment of cicada mating. Imagine my disappointment. The actors debased themselves in so many ways in this video. Why gloss over / refuse to depict the only reason most of us bothered watching?
Wtf......
Some people in the comments obviously don't have a sense of humor. I thought this was hilarious.
Sorry. Real cicadas don’t wear clothes 😒
That's because their trying to be (Adults)!! Instead they're Idiots!!
Kamen rider!!!
Here's your tax money folks. Cue the Id rather pay for this than war comments.
Not surprised from Chicago, the entire city has turned into a crime ridden, joke of a city.
How do you spell ridiculous? How about dumb?
And those are supposed to be (Adults)!
If not the worst, one of the Worst Childish supposed informational videos I've seeen by what are supposed to be adults
A stupid waste of nearly 3 minutes of my old life !
If I were a bumble bee and you a sweet flower, would you give me some cuddling, would you enjoy a golden shower ? (Sung to "if I were a carpenter")
YOU VILL EAT ZEM !
Clown,
people have been consuming insects for ever. But keep repeating the nonsense
Ànd Luvit!
They are supposed to taste like shrimp. You first.
@@alicek7529 I'll stick with zee shrimp.
