CICADA TIME MOTHERFUCKERS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE SCISSOR GRINDERS ✨✨✨

Also fun fact you can't see here, all cicadas have 5 eyes - 2 big ones, and 3 little dots in a triangle on the front. All are reflective

A green and black cicada. The belly, which is white, with a black stripe leading from the very end point to the bottom pair of pale legs. A different cicada of the same description, though they're a little paler even without the lighting and their legs are GRIPPING the brick wall Cicada 2's belly, their wings are a lil darker than the bright green of cicada 1, you can also see their mouth a bit better - it's a tube attached to a round spot on the front that's white with lil black stripes

And now for the creature features of the night, the first one flew directly at my face after we managed to put her on a tree

A huge, dirty green cicada with a white thorax-abdomen connection and green-edged wings The same cicada, a swamp cicada, showing off the colors better - the head is camo green, the legs and wings are fairly bright green, and the thorax and abdomen are a mix of browns and black The swamp cada again, but showing off her bright white belly now; the legs are definitely very green, she's got the needle mouth, and the thing i think is an ovipositor is on display A different large cicada on a brick wall; it's hard to see, but he was a lot more brown, though he also has the white belly and thorax-abdomen spot. Supposedly a lyric cicada, and definitely male cuz I heard him scream, and I think the same one is screaming on a tree nearby today
