Dundubia Malaysia Tacua

Some cicadas from Malaysia

Malaysia, like all south-east Asian countries, has a fantastic array of beautiful cicada species.

A world traveler sent us her recent cicada photos. Here are a sample:

An amazing Tacua speciosa aka Emperor Cicada:

Look at the size of it! Behold the beauty!

See all the Tacua speciosa photos.

And…

A severely injured but persevering Dundubia vaginata:

Dundubia vaginata (Fabricis, 1787) with a missing abdomen. The photo was taken in Malaysia. The photographer wishes to be anonymous.

It won’t ever mate again, but it will live for a little longer.

One reply on “Some cicadas from Malaysia”

Holy cow! I swear I thought that the top photo was of a stuffed animal at first. The cicada has an almost surreal, too perfect look & looks sort of plush in texture. I have never seen its like. What a beauty!
