Yeah. It's weird.

Lots of them here too. Is this normal? Or is the weird weather confusing them?

I saw an amazing nature show on PBS last night that had very good footage of the cicada life cycle. I always wondered what those tiny little worms the size of a sesame seed ate for 17 years while they were underground to grow into a full sized cicada. Apparently it's tree sap sucked from the roots of the trees they drop out of when they hatch.
