Hi all--

I swear I replied to these comments about 2 weeks ago, but my post is nowhere to be seen. Oh well.

The video was shot at Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware, just a few hundred meters from the Atlantic Ocean. There is no significant Atlantic White Cedar that I know of in the immediate area--you'd have to go about 20+ miles inland to pick that up, and then it's quite patchy.

I'm pleased with all the interest this clip has generated. Let me know if I can provide further info.

Hello Jeff. Very interesting cicada. Please tell us where this video was taken to assist us on species identification. I think this is T. latisfasciata too.

this is tibicen pruinosa form called latifasciatus found along atlantic seabord and all across florida found on atlantic white cedars only.i have them here in dunnellon fl. where i live. where was this video made.

Sounds like a scissor-grinding cicada (Tibicen pruinosa) to me.
