I love cicadas.
Me too! They look so cool! And they're so big, you can really see all their detail. And they're super chill
What? Not the ones in Louisiana. They are super loud and fly into everything. When I was in college, there would be tons of them all over, many stuck upside down on the ground trying to turn over.
I think those were June bugs. Not sure if they are a type of cicada
Oh, no, those are very different. Much smaller and shinier, for one
I don't think so, exact same as OP's photos. They're huge, with big wings
