I found this about a year ago but I couldn't ever identify it it's 100% in the genus okanagana I put the exact location I was thinking O. Rimosa and then I thought O. Arbororia but I don't know please someone help me

This is the fourth time that this individual which is high up in the trees sang for between 40 seconds to a minute. The forest is an eastern Hemlock and Yellow birch dominated forest with a thick rhododendron undrrstory surrounding a stream photos of habitat included.

Tentative. Sand dune habitat with Quercus havardii and Artemisia filifolia (3rd picture shows habitat). Cicada would sing from a plant, stop, fly someplace else and sing again. There was more than one in the area, but they didn't sing often. Unfortunately no more pictures and not a lot more recording.

Okanagana arctostaphylae was first described in 1915 and has not been collected since. These are the first photos ever taken of it in its natural habitat, and the second photos ever of a live individual.
