Most excellent Jake!! Congratulations.
If you go back to this area, I would love to have a few specimens.
Remember though, the data is just as important to me as the cicada itself.

Yes Gerry i can send some to u, they are only in Pana Illinois,in a place called Anderson prairie one mile south of Pana they are hard to get with bare hands.
I'm going to bring a net tomorrow, i wish i had a digital recorder, so u could here the mating call, if you know what t walkeri sounds like when its starting to call , this is what t dorsata sounds like, their is no pulse or flux in the sound ,kind of like t lyricen, so in conclusion its got the low tone of t walkeri but the monotone, song of t lyricen.
