Field Notes
Description:
This is a very common cicada for this location. It was at rest and quiet on this screen early this morning. Some of these individuals (like this one) have a very short abdomen. Both forms including the "normal length" occur here.) See the last reference link to see images of both). I don't know why the abdomen is "truncated".
Habitat:
Spotted on the outside screen of a house within a large partially wooded yard & garden, and adjacent to a very disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest. This is in the equatorial lowland tropics of northern New Guinea.
