Screaming Cicada

We found this 17-year periodical cicada, Magicicada septendecim, on a hike at Ragged Mountain in Connecticut. We didn't see any cicadas this year from Brood II in New Haven, and it seems that the last Brood II emergence in CT largely skipped New Haven as well. I am holding this individual, so the call is a bit muffled, but it gives an idea of the sound output from these creatures. I released this individual after handling it.
