A photo of a large brown and green cicada resting on my thumb. The cicada's eyes are gray and orangish brown. It's head has dark brown areas with drab green , the large abdomen, visible under the transparent wings is black and gray

A photo of the cicada from above the the front as it rests on the light blue railing of my porch

A photo of the cicada's underside as I hold it gently. The underside of the cicada is light tan and the long piercing mouthparts, which it uses to feed on plant juices is clearly visible

Had a very chonky Northern Dusk Singing #Cicada, #Megatibicen grossus, (the largest Eastern U.S. Cicada) fly into our back room the other night. I safely relocated it, but it was rather cranky and LOUD about that process...😂
