Kikihia ochrina (commonly known as the April green cicada) is a species of insect endemic to New Zealand.
[3] This species has a three-year life cycle and adults are bright green in colour and are most commonly seen in the month of April in the North Island.
[4] George Hudson described K. ochrina in 1891 and, thinking it was a new species, named it Cicada aprilina.
[5] K. ochrina is bright green in colour with only a few dark markings, the most prominent of which are two sickle shaped lines and two dots in the middle section of the thorax.
[6] Hudson regarded this species as particularly wary of potential threats and flying off for long distances if disturbed.
