Cicada with deformed wings - septendecim or septendecula? - Magicicada septendecim - Female
Princeton Battlefield State Park, Mercer County, New Jersey, USA

Is this septendecim or septendecula? I see merely a trace of orange and mostly well below the eye and wing insertion point. The orange stripes on the underside of the abdomen seem within the range of both species.
