Commonly known as dog day cicadas as they are usually seen in the dog days (late) summer. I am always startled by the exoskeletons but it appears they don't do too much damage.

We seem to be over run with these cicada's this year. I find their skins and dying ones all over the place. Our yard is full of little holes that I don't know if it is from them digging into or out of. I wondered if anyone else was experiencing this and knew why it was happening this summer. Thanks!

The Tibicen is the genus of annual cicada most people are familiar with. http://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/category/tibicen/
They emerge every summer. They do not emerge in broods.
They emerge in small numbers (small relative to periodical cicadas).
They are timid and elusive compared to periodical cicadas.
Most are physically larger than periodical cicadas.
They are well camouflaged: their colors and patterns of colors help to hide them in their surroundings. They look like little military vehicles, IMHO.
Colloquial names for Tibicens: August Dry Birds, Dog Day cicadas, Harvest Flies, Jar Flies, Bush Cicada (Tibicen dorsata)
