thelope.com - Brood XIX, multiple male M tredecim cicada calls

A box of Magicicada is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Here, a group of mostly male M tredecim call. You can see the abdominal action involved. The cicadas eclosed (moulted) April 30 and May 1 in Monticello, Arkansas. They were being held in a 12" x 12" x 12" terrarium for the video.

it sounds like ones calling almost as high as an M.neotredecim undisplaced about like septemdecem. i got a few tredecim down south and they are a bit lower in pitch than my cage of neos from up in centrel IL. however that one on the bottem is calling in a higher pitch than my neotredecim thats out of the contact zone. i notice also most of theese tredecim have yellow or tan were neos seem to have orange and black. i will send a vidio so you can compair
