Neotibicen tibicen
Neotibicen tibicen, known generally as the swamp cicada or morning cicada, is a species of cicada in the family Cicadidae. It used to be known as Tibicen chloromerus. It is widespread across much of the eastern and central United States and portions of southeastern Canada.Parasites
Certain species of flies are known to be parasitoids of adult N. tibicen, such as some Sarcophagidae in the genus Emblemasoma. The female flies have enlarged hearing structures used to detect the call of male cicadas. When a cicada is located the female lands on the host and deposits living larvae. The larvae burrow quickly into the cicada, where they feed, sometimes eating the insect completely and causing its death.
