I am just going by what botany.com reported. It said nothing about the adults sucking sap. Maybe this was during or just before their final moult. Up until the final moult they do drink the juices of plants. Looks like you have an abundance of Cicadas where you are at. I will research further but by the color of the ones in your photos, I would guess this to be the case...The final moult before adulthood...Thanks for the interest and info,
