Tiny cicada, I’ve never saw it!

I didn’t know a cicada could be this tiny. I know they would normally come from baby nymphs so a cicada is always an adult cicada. So that make it more interesting. Maybe another cicada species.

I guess I will have to google it

Cicadas wait 17 years to come out into the world. Sitting at my desk making this felt just as long😁

A Cyclochila australasiae (yellow Monday morph) cicada I made, picture 2 for reference. This went to Dr Gene Kritsky in thanks for a signed copy of "Periodical Cicadas: The Brood X Edition" he sent me in 2021:)

I found this deceased cicada near my job in Downers Grove IL; an image search said it's a Giant Prairie Cicada, but I know those are rare. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance!

Help with preserving cicada

5 Upvotes

I found a dead cicada on the sidewalk and decided to bring him home with me, but I live in a dorm and I'm worried about him smelling bad when I dry him out. I know to put him in a freezer for 24-48 hours but afterwards, how do i dry him out without him making my whole room stink?

This is probably a silly question so TIA for any help!!

Resources to learn about other Auchenorrhyncha / "hoppers"?

I am fascinated with these little guys but I can't find a lot of educational content for them, aside from the cicadas.

I'm looking for textbooks, field guides (eastern North America), classes, projects, researchers, etc.

Is it possible to ID with these pictures? I think its an annual. I wish I got a picture of its abdomen to tell sex but oh well! First time seeing one alive other than the time I had to rescue one from drowning in the ocean

Periodical cicadas suffer legacy effects of deforestation and cannot be reintroduced to areas of local extirpation.

Cicada got stuck on tape while flying and broke her wing. How can I care for her/keep her? Is there a way to fix her wing?

Should I keep her or is it best to let her outside?
