Tibicen sp.? - Megatibicen grossus

Tibicen sp.? - Megatibicen grossus
Valdosta, Lowndes County, Georgia, USA
July 12, 2013
Four images will be posted/attached for this individual. So, I'm pretty sure we're talkin' Tibicen here, but which species? By default, I seem to always think everything is T. auletes in my backyard (except for the hieroglyphics, *but* I have photographed a molting T. lyricen as well -- and I'm not confident/experienced enough to firmly put my foot in the ground here. There are a good number of species buzzing about south Georgia right now. This individual was in that strange phase of death-like catatonia. I assume it was dying? It twitched a bit here and there, but for the most part seemed resigned to be photographed and then expire. Any help would be appreciated, as well as additional info of what I'm looking at here. Hopefully these four images aren't overkill. Thanks for your help!
