Field Notes

Description:

Not entirely sure if this is a cicada, but it looks like one. Mottled turquoise wings with a diamond patch of yellow on it's thorax. Preferred to stay close to this stem and out of sight though i did finally get some okay photos of it.

Habitat:

west central ga. On a young avocado tree sprout
