		<description><![CDATA[cicada has a headlight?
November 6, 2009
In my closeup photo of a cicada&#8217;s (&#8221;a&#8221;) head, I noticed a bright red spot between his eyes, above his &#8216;nose&#8217;, which sure looked like a ruby-colored glass lens! I found the same thing on a second cicada (&#8221;b&#8221;), so it is not some weird anomaly. Also, it looks like [...]

Hi Sarah,
We have gotten multiple requests recently to have these giant flies identified.  This is actually an Annual Cicada, most likely Tibicen canicularis, but they are frequently called Dogday Harvestflies.  According to BugGuide:  &#8220;Explanation of Names  DOG-DAY: a reference to the hot [...]
