Thanks for your help. Looks good.

 
Tibicen tibicen
Actually, this specimen is Tibicen tibicen (formerly T. chloromerus). The green eys, green pronotum and black pronotal collar are all keys to this species. In addition, I notice that your specimen has light patches of green on the pronotal collar located at the humeral angle which is also indicative of female T. tibicens but is considered rare.

 
Thanks for your help on this
Thanks for your help on this ID. I just moved it.

 
Thanks
for the correction, Gerry. I changed the one on my web site twice now. I am pretty confident with T. tibicen after you described the keys. If you have a minute, I wonder if you might check this photo to confirm the ID? http://www.pbase.com/rcm1840/image/101713403

thanks again,

 
Correct
Bob,

This image is an extremely dark form of Tibicen tibicen but you can clearly see the green eyes and everything else seems to be correct for Tibicen tibicen. Where was this taken?

 
Thanks Gerry,
It was taken in Adams County, PA on August 14,2008.

Appreciate your help.
