Asked July 05, 2024, 4:15 PM EDT

Could you tell me if this is a cicadas? I thought they were not supposed to be located in Oregon.

Jackson County Oregon

Expert Response

I'm fairly sure it is not. Cicadas ar not common here, and they are 1 to 2 inches long, with generally bulging eyes and a brownish tinge, which do not appear to be the case with your photo. i am not an insect expert, so my recommendation to you is to take your speciment to the Plant Clinic at Extension Services, 569 Hanley Rd. Central Point. Please call ahead for current hours and days of service to<personal data hidden>.
