This photo was taken by Cicada Mania regular Paul Krombholz in Jackson Mississippi just last week. Cicadas like Diceroprocta vitripennis are annual cicadas: they emerge each year in small numbers, and as you can see, they rely on camouflage for survival. Annual cicadas are also quite shy compared to the periodic Magicicadas &#8212; they have very different life strategies. American annual cicadas rely on stealth and cunning to survive while searching for a mate. Periodic cicadas rely on the fact that there are so many of them, that some will always survive to carry on the species.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-back-large.jpg\" alt=\"Diceroprocta vitripennis by Paul Krombholz\" width=\"580\" height=\"945\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-back-large.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-back-large-184x300.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-side-large.jpg\" alt=\"Diceroprocta vitripennis by Paul Krombholz\" width=\"556\" height=\"900\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-side-large.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Diceroprocta-vitripennis-side-large-185x300.jpg 185w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Notes from Paul:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI am continuing this season to try to get pictures of all the cicadas in the<br \/>\nJackson, Mississippi area.  I just got a female specimen of Diceroprocta<br \/>\nvitripennis.  I found it in low vegetation on a sand bar next to the Pearl<br \/>\nRiver.  Thanks to John Davis and the collectors at the Mississippi Museum of<br \/>\nScience for the tip on where to look for them!  From head to wing tips, it<br \/>\nis 38 mm, but the wings of this species are longer in relation to body<br \/>\nlength than those of Tibicens.  Body length of this vitripennis was only<br \/>\n22mm.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a break in the Magicicada mania: a Diceroprocta vitripennis.
