A green and black cicada.

The belly, which is white, with a black stripe leading from the very end point to the bottom pair of pale legs.

A different cicada of the same description, though they're a little paler even without the lighting and their legs are GRIPPING the brick wall

Cicada 2's belly, their wings are a lil darker than the bright green of cicada 1, you can also see their mouth a bit better - it's a tube attached to a round spot on the front that's white with lil black stripes

CICADA TIME MOTHERFUCKERS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE SCISSOR GRINDERS ✨✨✨

Also fun fact you can't see here, all cicadas have 5 eyes - 2 big ones, and 3 little dots in a triangle on the front. All are reflective

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
