>>Uh..is there any difference between the 17 year and the annual cidcadas?
Yeah--they're different species, and the annual cicadas can be found every year. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out the frequency of appearance of 17-year cicadas. 
>>They haven't hatched in OK yet, but cicadas are a regular summer food source for my herd. Right now I'm out looking for june bugs every night.
I haven't seen too many June bugs yet in South TX--they're out, but not in force. I can't remember the species names of the cicadas in our neck of the woods (I'm originally from OKC), but you have the green ones, and the larger brown/black mottled ones (which can be attracted by the sound of a lawn mower).
