Tanna japonensis better known as the evening cicada, kanakana or higurashi is a species of cicada insect in the genus Tanna which can be found throughout eastern Asia but is particularly abundant in Taiwan and the islands of Japan. Here they inhabit plains, meadows, mountainous regions and in particular cypress, cedar, and hardwood forests. Both adults and larvae feed upon tree sap and other plant liquids. Adult females reach around .8 to 1 inch (21 to 25mm) in length while males reach 1.1 to 1.5 inches (28 to 38mm) in length, sporting a longer and thicker abdomen to the female. In addition, the intra-abdominal cavity of the male is more developed, giving it a more resonant call. The body is coloured reddish-brown with green around the compound eye and in the centre and back of the thorax; mountain dwelling specimens tend to be darker. In addition to the two prominent compound eyes, they have three small eyes on the forehead and two pairs of large wings. T. japonensis don't undergo complete metamorphosis. Their young hatch directly from eggs, and spend most of their lives growing through a series of molts underground, feeding on plant roots. The nymphs have strong front legs for digging. When they emerge, they ecdyse for the final time, producing wings, becoming fully grown and ready to mate typically in late summer and all throughout autumn. An evening cicada may live up to 13 years, however will only spend one season as an adult.

Simplicity #172: Symphony at Dawn

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

At 4:20 a.m.

Night is still old enough in darkness

Wind from south flows softly

Cicadas named Higurashi

Begin to play a symphony music

For only some 20 minutes or so

To simply declare that

Night is just over and

Rejoice over the very beginning

Of the day for all!

Soothing moment in hot summer …

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

午前4時過ぎ

辺りはまだ闇に深く眠る頃

南風が優しく吹き始めると同時に

ヒグラシが一斉に交響曲を奏で始める

その間、僅か20分ほど

この夏の代名詞の音楽会は

毎朝日の出とともに

1日の始まりを私たちに

高らかに告げてくれている

心鎮まるひととき…

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

I found a huge evening cicada! His forewing was crippled and he couldn't fly. I also think he's pretty old so he's chilling with me inside with a pine branch so he can pass peacefully.
