Very nice spotting. Pic to be proud of!

Thanks! It's a rare species I guess but too little info to say so. I can't find anything more about this insect.

I agree, it looks like the cicada was dressing up! Amazing, never seen anything like that before (seen cicadas, but not that colourful!) A great spotting and welcome to Project Noah. :)

Thanks. I was thinking that the cicada had a headband and a turquoise pants! A sporty cicada! It's my first time seeing one, and this one was about to die when I spotted it near a coffee shop.
