The Second Edition cicada photo book is here!

The long awaited Second Edition of "A photo guide to common cicadas of the Greater Sydney region" is NOW AVAILABLE! There is 2-3 times more content than the First Edition. I'm very happy with how this book turned out!

The book can be purchased via the Square online shopfront here: https://cicadarama.square.site/
$6 flat shipping across Australia! I've not used Square before so please bear with me if there are any teething issues with the site in the early stages

ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book contains information on 38 cicada species common to the Greater Sydney region. But don't just think that this book is for Sydney-siders only! Many of the species in this book also occur in other Australian States and Territories. Indeed, the species maps within highlight their typical distribution in NSW.

Other features of this book include:

▪ A glossary of cicada terminology
▪ An illustrative guide to the cicada life cycle
▪ The plant genera that cicadas are commonly observed on in NSW
▪ A description of common cicadas in the region, with notes on the male calling song, and when and where you might see or hear them
▪ An illustrative figure of each species’ calling song to help
▪ Detailed photographs of each species and photos taken in the field
▪ A BONUS short description of four elusive and rare cicada species
