Lyric Cicada

Description:

The Lyric Cicada is variable in appearance, with some individuals sporting prominent red-brown patterns on their head and thorax, and others having just a touch of red- brown on the top of their head, usually in a T-shaped pattern. It sings all day long on warm days, but there is usually a peak in singing at dusk. Reference: http://songsofinsects.com/cicadas/lyric-...
