Cystosoma saundersii (bottle cicada)
David Emery send us a photo of a Cystosoma saundersii (bottle cicada) from Australia and we added it to the gallery.
Just to complement the Aussie cicadas, a small colony of these Cystosoma saundersii (bottle cicadas) have been droning and rattling at dusk around Burwoood in Sydney for the past 2 months. This is their southern-most extension down the east coast of Australia.
cheers,
David.

New site map organized by Genera and species
I spent about 24 hours over the past two weeks cleaning up the naming of cicadas on the site, updating Tibicen names, fixing typos, etc. I ended up with a new site map organized by Genera and species. Now it should be easier to find the cicadas you’re looking for, especially species outside of North America.

New gallery of cicada tunnels from Thailand
Santisuk Vibul sent us 3 photos of cicada tunnels/chimneys from Bangkok Thailand.
Cicada chimneys, Bangkok, Thailand.
From Santisuk Vibul: “I found this cicada chimney on the lawn in front of my house on October 22, 2009. In Thailand, this month is late rainy season, there is no heavy rain and there will be no flood in the cicada tunnels, but the cicadas nymphs still build their chimneys. Some authorities said they built chimneys to stay to breathe and prepare themselves for their final molting.”

Cicada Images for your site
People have asked for “free” cicada images in the past, and many simply “steal” images from this site. I’m providing a selection of cicada images you can embed on your web page, Facebook, twitter, etc. All we ask is that you give credit to cicadamania.com. The images are released under a “Create Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic” license.
