Hi Jake,
Great to hear from you again. Your photo only proves that here in the U.S. we can find some very colorful and awesomely large cicadas. I have had discussions with colleagues in the past regarding the strange variations in color for T. pronotalis and often wonder why we do not find extreme ranges in color in other cicadas.
Thanks for sharing.
