Green Cicada

This green cicada rest at the cloth hanging outside my house.
(Unidentified species)
Search the internet for the name and photo.
This photo (taken by Rhett A. Butler) is the closest/identical specimen, but also without scientific name.


A cicada is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified
(Ref: Wikipedia.)



The size, compare to my fingers.
