12 Cicadas Totally Trapped in 1996

In 1996, Alanis Morissette was just a "Jagged Little Pill" and only 20 million Americans dialed up to the Internet. Clearly, Swarmageddon 2013 is making the bug population feel nostalgic for the '90s.

Humans, please try to make the cicadas feel welcome by explaining iPhones and The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
