Ohio brood hatched about 2 years ago. I took my kids camping and had not told them prior to going what we were getting into (although i knew). Was a memorable time for all!!!
Never criticize someone until you walk a mile in their shoes....by then you'll be a mile away and they will be shoeless!

As jcavanagh points out, there are annual cicadas that appear every summer. These have a green and black color pattern.
The periodical cicada are mostly black with orange eyes. There are 15 distinct broods that appear in different years, depending on where you live. The linked article has a map of the different broods, and the emergence years.

Cicada article and map
"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"
