This diurnal Cicada was the first colorful discovery (and ID) of the 2017 summers. The first sighting was as an anomaly on a distant branch, which remained unclear even when viewed through the binoculars. Then a few days later, it was spotted much closer, offering a great observation opportunity. It stayed at rest while the pictures were taken.
Sulpho is a root word meaning Sulphur-containing, and elemental Sulphur is yellow in color.. which hints it being named after the beautiful yellow patterns on its body.
