Western Plain Flag-Bearer
Diceroprocta averyi is a species of annual cicada described by Davis in 1941. It belongs to the genus Diceroprocta, a group of cicadas commonly known as flag-bearers. The species occurs in North America, with confirmed records from Texas. Like other Diceroprocta species, it likely exhibits the typical cicada life cycle involving multiple years spent underground as a nymph feeding on root xylem, followed by emergence as a short-lived adult.
