Tibicen chloromerus

The black "collar" (hind border of the pronotum) shows this is either T. chloromerus or T. lyricen. The former is marked with green, the latter with brown or orange. This specimen is marked with green on the pronotum, but the rest of the thorax is brown! I think it is a teneral specimen; as it "colors up" the rest of the thorax will turn black, as in normal T. chloromerus.
