Magicicada neotredecim
Neotredecim Periodical Cicada
Magicicada neotredecim is a 13-year periodical cicada discovered in 1998 and formally described in 2000, making it the most recently described species in the genus. It was identified when scientists detected a bimodal split in male calling song frequencies during the Brood XIX emergence, revealing two sympatric species where only one had been recognized. The species is most closely related to the 17-year Magicicada septendecim, sharing similar abdominal coloration and song characteristics, differing primarily in life cycle length.
Magicicada tredecim
Riley's 13-Year Cicada
Magicicada tredecim is a 13-year periodical cicada native to the southeastern and midwestern United States. It is one of four species comprising the 13-year broods, with which it emerges in synchronized mass emergences numbering up to 1.5 million individuals per acre. The species is distinguished from its close relative M. neotredecim by differences in male song pitch, female song pitch preferences, abdomen coloration, and mitochondrial DNA. Adults are characterized by reddish eyes, black dorsal thorax, and light orange or caramel-colored abdominal underside lacking dark bands. Nymphs feed on xylem sap of tree roots underground for 13 years before emerging to molt, mate, and die within four to six weeks.
Neotibicen canicularis
dog-day cicada, dog-day harvestfly, heatbug, Northern Dog-day Cicada
Neotibicen canicularis is an annual cicada species found across much of North America, commonly known as the dog-day cicada or dog-day harvestfly. Unlike periodical cicadas that emerge in synchronized broods every 13 or 17 years, this species appears every summer, though individuals require several years to develop underground. Adults are active during the hot midsummer period traditionally called the "dog days." The species has been documented as a host for multiple flesh fly parasitoids in the family Sarcophagidae, including several first-record associations.
