Cicada Sighted in Florence, MA
Hi Gerry,
Please let me know what it is. It's my first cicada. Saw it by chance when hanging laundry.

Hi Val
Thanks for the photos. This is the common species of annual cicadas we have
here in Massachusetts. This is a male Tibicen canicularis. Right now it is
in the form known as a "teneral", that's why it looks pink. It would've hung
around for a few hours in order to darken up and for its wings to harden for
flying.
Thanks very much for the information.
If you have any more questions I will be happy to answer them.
