I have a bug question! So I live in Central North carolina and I'm starting to see cicadas all over my porch. The green and black kind with red eyes. Is this a normal time of year for cicadas to come out? I usually never actually see them in spring so I'm really confused! A lot of the cicadas are dead too. They look malformed, like they didn't develope quite right after they shed. I dont know a lot about cicadas. Is this normal for them?
Sounds like you're describing periodical cicadas if they have red eyes. Yes, they generally come out in spring. Brood XIX, which is a 13-year periodical cicada, is emerging now. As far as them being malformed, I couldn't say without seeing them.
