Linne's Cicada
Neotibicen linnei
The adult is found on trunks and branches in eastern North American woodlands, parks, and tree-lined neighborhoods during warm months. It feeds on plant sap and relies on flight, gripping legs, and sudden takeoffs to escape predators. Males produce loud buzzing calls from trees to attract mates. Its clear wings and short adult lifespan make it a brief but conspicuous summer insect.
