Neotibicen tibicen, known generally as the swamp cicada or morning cicada, is a species of cicada in the family Cicadidae. It is widespread across much of the eastern and central United States and portions of southeastern Canada.[1] There are two subspecies, N. tibicen tibicen and N. tibicen australis, with the latter replacing subspecies tibicen in portions of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.[2]
Description
[edit | edit source]Neotibicen tibicen is active particularly in the morning; hence its common name, morning cicada.[2] It is strictly ectothermic, and only becomes active in the morning after basking in the sun to raise its body temperature.[3] The species' name was Tibicen chloromerus, but in 2008 it was changed to Tibicen tibicen because the cicada was determined to have been described first under this specific epithet.[4] The species was moved to the genus Neotibicen in 2015.[5] N. tibicen is the most frequently encountered Neotibicen because it often perches on low vegetation.[6] Likewise, it is arguably the most common Neotibicen in North America.[7]
