Dog-day Cicada (Neotibicen canicularis) nymph R3364 London, ON HD

Dog-day Cicada (Neotibicen canicularis) nymph.

London, Ontario, Canada.

July 26, 2017.

 

This Cicada nymph was wandering around looking for a place to molt.

 

This species lives underground for 3 years, feeding on the roots of trees. Periodical Cicadas, which are much smaller and have red eyes, live underground for 13 or 17 years, depending on the species.
