might be Swamp Cicada - Tibicen tibicen
I'd move the pics to Cicadas. Most likely our expert will see it there.


 
Yes it is! ... Tibicen tibicen
Tibicen tibicen (=chloromerus)

Populations from the eastern seaboard states, primarily mid-Atlantic, are often characterized by deep reds on the mesonotum (mesothorax); a trait rarely seen in more inland (west of the Appalachians) and northern populations.

 
cool
I'm getting a little better with the Tibicens. I've got one for ID in Cicadas from Malibu, CA for ya.

 
Good Luck
I haven't nailed down the West Coast species much beyond Genus :0

+ the Genus Okanagana, best represented in the west, needs some work!!
