Magicicada eating - Magicicada - Pacific, Franklin County, Missouri, USA June 8, 2011 Size: 40mm
There aren't many images of periodical cicadas feeding, so I couldn't pass up this one of a female taking sap from Gentiana andrewsii in my garden this morning.
I think this is M. tredecim, one of the two abundant ones around here (the other, M. tredecassini).
