The Brown Cicada is a common insect in the Animal Crossing series. It makes a unique chirping sound, which resembles what could be described as a continuous alarm or vibrating sound, rather than the regular chirp. The Brown Cicada can be sold for 200 Bells.
Donating to the Museum
In City Folk
Upon donation to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say;
"Ah, hoo, the brown cicada. The call of this creature is said to sound like hot oil sputtering, eh wot? I'm rather not sure that hearing the sound of deep-frying on a hot summer night is a pleasant thing..."
It can be found in the middle terrace, on the front-most tree of the middle island, sharing it with the Robust Cicada.

Further Information
The Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata (large brown cicada) is called tatarakihi by the locals, in their native language, Maori. Much like all cicadas, the brown cicada has transparent wings, small bodies in comparison, and large eyes on either side of their heads. They are considered a pest by farmers because they attack and eat crops. They are harmless towards humans.
