I assume that this is a Smoky Buzzer. If so, then I have submitted records of this cicada at the extreme northern and southern ends of the Dryandra Street Woodland. I will upload another record for the DSW where a number of individuals were perched on grass stems, singing. Looking at the existing records in the Canberra Nature Map, Dryandra Street Woodland is a hot spot for this species.

There is a high diversity of cicadas at this location. More will appear within the next month.

Thank you for your observations and interest. Will look forward to your next contribution. Cicada IDs are daunting; I am always happy to assist.
