Newly Emerged Cicada - Tibicen linnei

---

Newly Emerged Cicada - Tibicen linnei: The Tibicen genus of cicadas is the most prevalent in the United States. These large-bodied cicadas appear annually, after feeding on tree roots for 2-3 years in their nymphal stage. Due to overlapping generations, Tibicen cicadas are present every year during late summer. Many colloquial names exist for Tibicens: locust, dog day cicada, harvest fly, August dry bird, jar fly, bush cicada. Tibicen cicadas are marked on the head with black, brown, and green. They hold their hyaline wings roof-like over their backs, and the wings are much longer than the abdomen. Also, the front wings are much longer than the hind wings, about twice as long in fact.
