Tibicen canicularis

33 mm = slightly > 1 inch (Too Small for T. auletes)

Tibicen auletes is our largest cicada!
It has light tannish-grayish eyes (striking eyes) and when teneral is typically "mint-green" (on rare occasions red - very scarce color form).

Tibicen canicularis is a highly variable species in color and pattern. It is also one of the most common Tibicen species in the Northeast.
