This green 'frog-faced' cicada is about 4cm (1.6 inches) long.
Hills overlooking Manila.
Does anyone know the genus and species?
We hear them all the time, but we rarely see them. Someone managed to film them making their distinctive 'music': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mah26og11...
Thanks you guys! So, it's a cicada. It'd be nice if it"s one of those recently discovered Filipino species - the 'laughing cicada'... But it sounded more like a screaming one, when we heard the one being attacked by our dog :-} ...
