Cicadetta calliope possibly in grass - Cicadettana kansa
near Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
June 28, 1999
Size: BL ~ 14.5 mm
This small cicada with lime green wings and red eyes was photographed in grass in a prairie habitat at Rabbit Mountain Open Space. It seems very to Cicadetta calliope. Any help with its ID is greatly appreciated.
