Video of Neotibicen tibicen tibicen
Watch these videos of Tibicen tibicen tibicen cicadas, aka a Swamp Cicada, formerly Tibicen chloromera.
Note that the music in this 1996 video has nothing to due with cicadas. It’s just crappy science fiction movie music:

Notes on the Locusta; Septentrionalis americanae decem septima
I found another old cicada document, this one is called “Notes on the Locusta; Septentrionalis americanae decem septima“. It was published in 1839, and written by Nathaniel Potter. I haven’t read it yet, but it would be interesting to compare it to C.L. Marlatt’s Periodical Cicada bulletin (1898), and documentation written in the 1990s and 2000s.
Here’s a nice illustration from Potter’s book:

Joe Green sent us this video of a black window spider eating a cicada.
