The walker cicada[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series that has appeared in every game to date. It has a unique sound, different to other cicadas, which is best described as a noise similar to walking on a sticky floor surface. It is the second-most expensive cicada, selling for 400 Bells, as well as the smallest (44 mm).
In the games that the walker cicada appears in, it is a common bug that the player can encounter, and can be found on trees. Unlike the other cicadas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught from late summer to early fall.

Real-world information[edit]
Meimuna opalifera is a species of cicada found in China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan[1] and is one of the smallest cicadas of the region, at an average of 44 millimeters. It should not be confused with the walker's cicada, scientifically named Megatibicen pronotalis, a species found in mid-west America.
