Purana is a genus of cicada from Southeast Asia. This is Purana tigrina. This is a newly emerged female. After moulting, they will find a suitable place and hang vertically. Their wings need to be inflated with the fluid and their skin will be harden prior to make the maiden flight. They are very helpless in this time and extremely vulnerable to predation.
