From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redeye cicada
The redeye (Psaltoda moerens) is a species of cicada found throughout southeastern Australia, from southern Queensland to South Australia, as well as Tasmania. As the name implies, the eyes are a deep red colour, although pinkish- and brownish-eyed specimens are seen. They feed primarily on eucalyptus but also on Angophora trees.Photo credit: Fir0002
