Psaltoda Plaga
35mm fore-wing with faint smoky marks. Mostly black with reddish marks and possibly red eyes although they are much darker than the Redeye Cicada. I guess it could be a female Redeye but the wings seem short and the wing markings are less pronounced. The head looks correct though. Too picky?
Blown from its tree at night this cicada was skidding about on a concrete path quite happily just a few feet from a light.
Another one I have been trying to identify. The exposure has been pushed heavily from the original images for clarity but colours remain true enough apart from image 3 which is purely for measurements. # Black xmas cicada It looks more like a Little Baron Psaltoda mossi but is out of its range I will use bennyruner's ID as my experience is less
A lovely female indeed although Black Prince. Well out of range of Little Baron which is only found over parts of QLD and inland northern NSW
