Amica glauca is a species of cicada, also known as the bluebush cicada, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Pictilini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2025 by Australian entomologists Maxwell Sydney Moulds and David C. Marshall.[1][2]
The specific epithet glauca, from Greek: γλαυκός (blue-grey), refers to the colour of the plants favoured by the cicadas.[1][3]
