Black-winged Cicada

Tosena melanopteryx

Black-winged Cicada

The adult lives in tropical forest vegetation, resting on trunks and branches high above the ground. It drinks plant sap with its piercing mouthparts, while males produce loud calls to attract mates. Its dark, black-marked wings distinguish it as it flies between trees.
