Polyneura cheni
Not sure about the ID!!
Beautiful!!! Please consider adding to the Cicadas of the World Mission! =D http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2160...
Indeed thank you so much Martin for the id :)
and we were on that trip together ;-) hence the same spotting :)
the rocks there were just by the river and many but not all were white .
Polyneura refers to the nerve texture in the wings. Cheni would likely refer to China.
We've seen this one before http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/712...
What is it about white rocks?
Love revisiting this spotting! I hope you get an ID soon. Please consider adding to The Hoppers mission :) http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096...
really stunning...its wings look like an integrated circuit !!! O_o

I have seen many a Cicada in my life, but I am not sure I have ever seen one so grand as yours. simply stunning.
@ Chun i think the id is spot on my friend , but i dont understand a word of what is written on that site.
thanks for the id chun!
Looks like the Polyneura cheni from China.
