A huge, dirty green cicada with a white thorax-abdomen connection and green-edged wings
The same cicada, a swamp cicada, showing off the colors better - the head is camo green, the legs and wings are fairly bright green, and the thorax and abdomen are a mix of browns and black
The swamp cada again, but showing off her bright white belly now; the legs are definitely very green, she's got the needle mouth, and the thing i think is an ovipositor is on display
A different large cicada on a brick wall; it's hard to see, but he was a lot more brown, though he also has the white belly and thorax-abdomen spot. Supposedly a lyric cicada, and definitely male cuz I heard him scream, and I think the same one is screaming on a tree nearby today
And now for the creature features of the night, the first one flew directly at my face after we managed to put her on a tree
