Cicada-maybe Lyric cicada? - Tibicen lyricen
Seymour, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
July 17, 2008
Size: body about 1 1/4" long
I found this cicada last night at work here in Seymour, Tennessee. the body was about 1 and a quarter inches long and the total length including the wings was about 2 inches. Im thinking Lyric Cicada, but im not sure so I'll wait for a confirmation before i put it in the guide.

Tibicen lyricen (dark form)
This species is highly variable. I lived in Nashville for a couple of years and I recall seeing several of these during my stay there.
Although similar to T. tibicen (chloromera), T. lyricen has brown legs and a black stripe ventrally along the abdominal midline. Typically, T. tibicen has green eyes, while those of T. lyricen are dark.

Tibicen.
I'm thinking Tibicen chloromera, but I don't know of an official "common" name....Let's see what Andy Hamilton says.
