This type of Cicada is know as a
Dogday Harvestfly Cicada. It is usually only seen during the Dog Days
of summer and usually feeds on pine trees or pine roots. Unlike
the "17-year" cicadas, this species hatches every year in the
same area and the nymphs mature in only 3 years. They are quite
loud. This particular bug was rescued from my pool on one of
the hottest days of the summer. 7/21/2004
