Hey a Cicada! I hear they are full of protien and good for the animals to eat!
I have a pic of one from california on my site. I found him on my railing out front. But they hatched out here a couple mo. ago. Great shot!! #4505796

We had tons of these up in Oklahoma! One time, the neighbor guy put about twenty on my carpet in my bedroom. I walked in and steppped on one; it made this awful disgusting crunchy noise! Excellent macro for you, Liz! #4506781

Liz, the detail is outstanding.
It gave me the chills, sometimes the shell it creepier than the bug. #4509227
