Black & scarlet cicada

Huechys sanguinea, commonly known as the black and scarlet cicada, is a species of cicada belonging to the family Cicadidae.

Huechys sanguinea can reach a length of about 20 millimetres. It is a small strikingly coloured cicada. The basic body color is deep scarlet with smoky-grey wings, but proboscis and limbs are deep black. These cicadas usually emerge synchronously in April. The specific name is from Latin sanguis, blood.

This species is native to South- and Southeast Asia, specifically India and Myanmar, southern China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Singapore and down into Sumatra and Timor.

Adults can be observed in late August, September and October near illuminated buildings during the night. Nymphs live nearly a ear in the soil or bushes. This species is used in the traditional Chinese medicine.
