Genus NeocnemodonObserver
thecicadadudeDescription
Sorry for the blurry photos - the bug jar it was in is old. I found it perched on the underside of a dead twig in my yard, flat against the twig -the twig I found it on is in the last photo. I believe you can see the spurs on the hind legs characteristic of this genus. I’ll take microscopic pics later for species ID.

Tentative ID. I think I see black coxa on foreleg. Bands thick and pretty straight (anterior and posterior), broadly meeting side of abdomen. Strong facial stripe. No overhead shots. Antennae light.
