Western Bent-winged Cicada
Description:
Froggattoides pallidaWhile visiting the Menzies area in October, this cicada came to flap and flop around our feet at night. "Australian Cicadas" by MS Moulds describes it as:"Confined to Western Australia within an area bounded approximately by Carnarvon, Talawana Station, Norseman and Bickly near Perth.There are few specimens in collections, but it is probably a common species on occasions. Adults emerge after heavy rains and have been taken from early October to mid February." All in all a very special Cicada.Photographed 28 Oct 2014Photo: Fred
