''Neotibicen canicularis'' is recognizable by being mostly black with green markings on its body. The body size is typically 27–33 millimeters, the wingspan can reach 82 mm. The wings are interlaced with green veins which are especially noticeable near the base. The song of ''N. canicularis'' is often described as being a loud, high-pitched whine much like a power saw cutting wood. It lasts for several seconds before fading away at the end of the noise. Its name "dog-day" refers to dog days of summer, due to these insects often being associated with hot, humid, summer days.References:
