Bush Cicada
Megatibicen dorsatus
Adult Bush Cicadas inhabit open woodland, scrub, and grassland with scattered trees across the central United States. They perch high on trunks and branches, feeding on sap drawn through a piercing beak. Males produce a powerful, rattling song with specialized abdominal organs to attract mates during summer.
