“Emergence of cicadas”

The last heavy rain of the summer season is over. The arrival of summer. Cicadas begin to sing in the city and in the woods. A small cicada was drying its wings at the tip of a dead branch. They emerge in lower place than other cicadas. So even children can catch them. [JULY 2021]

Platypleura kaempferi

ニイニイゼミは、小さなセミ。脱け殻も小さく、泥にまみれているものが多いです。木の下の方など低い場所で羽化し、成虫になってもわりと低い位置にいることが多いセミです。
