The ''[[wikipedia:Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata|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.

The brown cicada[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series that has appeared in every game to date. It makes a unique chirping sound, which resembles what could be described as a continuous alarm or vibrating sound, rather than the regular chirp.

In the games that the brown cicada appears in, it is a common bug that the player can encounter, and can be found on trees. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught from mid to late summer.

Real-world information[edit]

Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata on a tree

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. The literal translation of their Japanese name (アブラゼミ (Aburazemi)) is Oil Cicada, likely due to the fact that some cultures hear their calls as the sounds of oil sputtering from a frying pan. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
