Swamp Cicada - Tibicen tibicen
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
July 20, 2007
Size: 2.25 in. total length
Can anyone recognize what kind of Cicada this is? It doesn't look like the Tibicen pronotalis I posted from last year. It landed about 4 feet from me, so the opportunity to get it's picture was just too irresistable. Snapped this one and it left, so I wasn't able to get any other views.

T. chloromera?
I'd bet this is Tibicen chloromera, but you might wait for an opnion from Andy Hamilton to confirm it.
