Cicadas are really pretty if you see one soon after molting. They’ve got beautiful metallic greens and blues.

    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
