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

I don't think so, exact same as OP's photos. They're huge, with big wings

Oh, no, those are very different. Much smaller and shinier, for one
