Cool Cicada Tattoo
Looks like a Neocicada hieroglyphica.
A monograph of oriental cicadidae (1892) by Willian Lucas
I recently found a book called A monograph of oriental cicadidae in the Internet Archive. The A monograph of oriental cicadidae was authored by W. L. Distant, and published in 1892 — that’s 116 years ago! The book contains plenty of text and illustrations, some of which I’ll include below:
Angamiana etherea
Cicada taglica
Cosmopsaltria tripurasura
Peciliopsaltria hampsoni
Terpnosia stipata
Tosena depicta
Tosena sibylla
Tosena splendida

Rotten, but not forgotten
As promised, the Magicicada adults are all but gone in most areas. I assume that most that are left are in Long Island or Cape Code.
Compared to last year (Brood XIII), Cicada Mania had 57% fewer unique visitors, which was expected. That said, I had 57% more fun this year, which makes up the difference.
