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, Diceroprocata olympusa and Tibicen resonans.

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

Here’s some new photos from photographer and cicada enthusiast Adam Fleishman. As always, they’re great photos. If you can help ID the first two photos, we’d appreciate it.

T. dorsata:

T. superba

This one I can’t figure out, mostly because it’s well dead. Sheri T. took the photo.

The yellow eyes might be due to its postmortem condition, but they do make the specimen interesting.

Brian Baldwin sent over some cicada photos for an ID. Here’s my guesses (below). If you have a more accurate guess, post it in the Comments.

T. dorsata:

At first I thought T. walkeri, but now I’m leaning towards Brain’s guess of T. superba. This would be the first superba with a brown mesonotum that I’ve ever seen.:

T. dealbata:

Same Tibicen old video, now without the shedoobie rock n’ roll:

I snagged a couple of Tibicen today.

A colorful chloromera:

and a, um… lyricen, maybe (I’ve never seen one quite like this):

They were still moving a little when I took the photos.

Tom Lehmkuhl send us this photo of an uninvited house guest (Tibicen linnae):

Last night at about 9:30 PM I opened our back door to let our dog out and
thought I felt something brush against my leg while the door was open. Next
think I know my wife is screaming in the living room as a cicada is bombing
around the room like a drunk pilot! It’s amazing how big a cicada looks
when it is flying indoors, bouncing off of your walls, wings buzzing…

After several passes within a few inches of my wife’s head, he (she?) came
to rest on our kitchen floor. Carefully using a small glass and a post card
I was able to capture the cicada and set it free. The next morning he was
right where I left him the night before, sitting on our porch, so it seemed
like a good opportunity to snap a photo. See attached…

Ben sent us these photos of a Tibicen taken in Davenport Iowa. Anyone want to venture a guess at the exact species?

Anyone want to try to guess at the species of this Tibicen? The photo was taken by Don in Michigan. My guess is T. davisi, but I’m almost just as sure that I’m wrong.

This is a video of a Tibicen nymph emerging from the ground, taken by Roy Troutman.
