Cicada - Tibicinoides vanduzeei

Cicada - Tibicinoides vanduzeei
Agoura Hills, Los Angeles County, California, USA
June 4, 2014
Collected this specimen from low undergrowth, about 10cm off the ground. Song was rather audible, was a persistent and incessant "szisziszi" with no breaks. Sandy brown ventral side.

Some nice gold scaling on the abdomen, seemed to rub off on touch. Unfortunately lost a ton of image quality because this site required JPG files...
