Episode 23: Dog-Day Cicada – Voice of the Wild
Dog-day cicada (Neotibicen canicularis).
While canicularis is the insect most associated with the “dog-day” name, that common name is shared by several species. If the northern dog-day cicada doesn’t sound like what you learned as the dog day cicada, check out episode 15 on Neotibicen pruinosis; that’s the one I learned to call dog-day cicada in central Illinois. https://voiceofthewild.transistor.fm/episodes/episode-15-scissor-grinder-cicada-voice-of-the-wild
Thank you to Wil Hershberger for letting us use the insect calls from SongsofInsects.com.
