Cicada Report Wilmington, MA.

Here is a cicada we found in our back yard on August 2. We live in Wilmington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The cicada was dead when we found it. I found your website while researching to identify the insect. Thought you might like to know of the "sighting".

Hi Tim

Thanks for the information. Do you still have the specimen? If you could, would it be possible to get measurements in millimeters as follows:

Overall length
Wing Length (From Wing Hinge to Wing Tip)
Body Length
Width of head, from one large compound eye to the other.

This specimen looks to be a Tibicen canicularis female. She looks like she completed her life cycle by laying her eggs then in a few hours she was dead.

Also, I hate to ask but would it be possible to get a closer picture?

Thanks
