Joe Green reported that the Diceroprocta olympusa have started calling in Southwest Florida (Lehigh Acres).

Here’s some video featuring their song:

Here’s some D. viridifascia calls recorded by Joe Green. You can hear them, but you won’t see them in the video.

They sound like Maracas to me.

There’s plenty of pictures of D. viridifascia on the Bug Guide website.

Thanks to Cicada Mania friend Joe Green we now have 3 new cicada galleries featuring cicadas we didn’t have before one the site: Neocicada hieroglyphica, Diceroprocta olympusa and Tibicen resonans.

Hang in there, we’ll be back to the 17 Year Cicadas tomorrow.
