Song of a Robinson’s Cicada (scroll down for explanation and additional recordings!).

insect_musicians_tibi-robi_WH_DIGI_aRobinson’s Cicadas are dark-bodied with extensive brown or reddish brown mark- ings (some individuals also have prominent green areas). This species has a patchy distribution and occurs in widely isolated populations (see range map). Males sing from the tops of deciduous trees, often along the edges of rivers, and are very difficult to collect. The singing period is short compared to most other cicadas — males typically quit singing after the first few cool nights in September.
