Zammara smaragdula
Zammara is a genus of cicadas. These species are large cicadas that are generally bright blue-green in color. Like other cicadas, these can produce loud calls; Zammara tympanum, for example, makes a "winding up-like pulsating buzz."
Zammara are found in the Neotropics, especially in equatorial regions,where they live in tropical forest habitat.
I added it Cammie, but the map shows only an area in the USA… Is it world wide Cicadas?
Please consider adding to the Cicadas of the World Mission! =D http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2160...
haha, thanks Leuba. I see you found my photo of this Cicada from Costa Rica. The one I found in Belize (2015) had red eyes, this one's were black, and this one was a little more green in colour.
See the trippy turquoise, red eyed cicada from Belize, here.

Haha, no worries, you allready had it ! By the way, it's a very beautiful insect, the name suits it !
Bayucca, you need to reconsider your ID suggestion: This is deffinitely a ciccada, not a Emerald cockroach!
I try to get a confirmation by "my" expert...
