recorded near Beaumont, Kansas, August 29, 2008. I'm trying to decide if it's T. lyricen, T. linnei or something else. If anyone know, please comment.

  • T auriferus varies a little in size, with an average being just under 1 1/2 inches. It also varies in color from what basically looks like a miniature T. pruinosus to a more mahogany-colored appearance, somewhat like T. lyricen. If you use the You Tube search engine you'll see several T. auriferus videos I posted last year.

  • @Arbitar11 , you'd be correct if the geography were different. It turned out to be T auriferus, which replaces T. davisi in this part of the US (Kansas) but sounds almost exactly like it. There are several situations like that; for example we have T. dealbatus instead of T. pronotalus, but the two sound alike.

    I really need to go back and delete some of these older, low-res videos I posted before I got better video capability and better info on cicadas.
