Description

Meimuna mongolica, Yanlord Town, Shanghai. 

These guys are probably my favorites out of the three Cicada species here in Shanghai. They're fairly attractive in color and appeance as insects go, and their song also stands out- its not a thin, high rasp as the others produce, but rather a strange, whirring Ice-CREAM-yah-Ice-CREAM-yah xD Pretty funny to hear on a summer afternoon.

These guys actually come out in later summer, during the approach of autumn, which might contribute to their Chinese name, 'Meng Gu Han Chan'- Mongolian Cold Cicada ^^ 

(I'll probably edit this image later as I'm not altogether too satisfied with all it turned out..)

Yeah that's what I've been catching for the whole summer...
They sound more like: Yes-ta, Yes-ta, Yes-ta
