Magicicada

Magicicada
Asheville/ Folk Art Center, Buncombe County, North Carolina, USA
June 15, 2008
There were thousands of these cicadas crawling on every surface. Their exuvia (and dead cicadas) were piled up inches thick at the bottom of all the trees. Very impressive. I know the genus must be Magicicada, but is a species ID possible? I have other photos if that would help.
