Cicada - Neotibicen tibicen -

Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
August 27, 2014

9 pm. Two weeks ago I posted a Southern Swamp Cicada that I found at the same spot; this one looks slightly different, so I hope it's a different species.

you are welcome

Thanks for posting cicadas from Leon Co., FL

Should you come across any good specimens (recently dead or dying), please keep me in mind. I am very interested and keep a large reference collection of cicadas from across the eastern USA.

Tibicen tibicen australis

Female Southern Swamp Cicada
The bronze-colored dusting/coating suggests this cicada emerged several hours before; this dusting is often referred to as "teneral pruinosity."
