Cicada on Assateague Island - Neotibicen tibicen

Cicada on Assateague Island - Neotibicen tibicen
Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland, USA
August 31, 2013
Sorry about the bad angle and fairly poor quality, but this is my first cicada photo I've managed to get on Assateague Island. I literally watched it fly to the tree and chased it down to get a shot. It sang once and then flew again.

Tibicen tibicen (chloromerus)
Note the green pronotal collar! This trait occurs with some regualrity along the Mid-Atlantic.

 
Thanks, Bill!
Added the photo and determination on our site, Maryland Biodiversity Project: http://www.marylandbiodiversity.com/viewSpecies.php?species=6203. Much appreciated!
