Michigan Tibicens
Patrick Farr sent us this cool picture of two adult cicadas climbing on his hand. They’re Tibicens, but I’m not sure of the species (maybe pruinosus).

There are actually three cicadas here. Note the final instar nymph which is waiting to go off to
eclose and become a fully formed adult cicada. T. canicularis come out enmass in late August,
early September so I would suspect that these are T. canicularis.
