We had the periodical type here in northeast Indiana in 2004, I believe. But, just TONIGHT, I observed a pretty greenish-with-black-eyes cicada on my deck. This must be the annual type??? Oh, her belly was an iridescent PEARL…. …. GORGEOUS! I have a [poor-quality]digital photo of it…. it was at dusk.

We found a lot of cicadas in our back yard. We constanly hear them. They have a pinkish belly and their
wings are slightly green. They also have green stripes on their heads. We can’t remember if we had them
last year though. What kind of cicadas are these?

We found cicadas in our backyard. They have slightly green wings and the belly is pinkish. They are
about 4 1/2 inches long. They have green stripes above their head. We don’t think that they were here
last year. We constantly hear them. It looks like we have a lot of them. What kind of cicadas are these?

I found a dead cicada today. It is black with black eyes with the underside all white. On the
back, there are two white patches on either side where the wings fold over. A little green on
top of the wings and clear on the remaining of the wings. It appears to be a male.It measures 5cm.
(in length) Could this be Diceroprocta apache cicada? I live in Camden, Tennessee.

I saw a cicada on my back porch yesterday night, at like 1am. It was sitting vertically along the wall. I believe it was what you call the magicicada. It was black with clear wings, and two bulging red eyes on each side of it’s head. I live on Nellis AFB, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sorry I don’t have the lats and long. Hope this helps.

Tonight, while on my balancy a cicada landed right in front of me. I live just north of Baltimore MD. I went to take a photo of it but it was gone by the time I got back outside.

of them, every year about this time they come out and make life
outside non exsistant.
