Another one of these guys! I've only actually seen live ones one time when I lived in New York State and a colony or cohort of them was born. They were everywhere! This is a great photo Bottles! Ann C

Thanks folks for your comments, I appreciate every one of them! And Sky, too funny! I love your sense of humor and I'm still laughing at your comment! I don't know which is the ugliest, the adult Cicada or that skin they leave hanging on trees etc. Actually, I hesitated entering Herman because I had seen your Rocky and didn't know if folks could stand to see two of those creatures in the same challenge :-) Anyway thanks for the comment, and the laugh, a little humor adds so much to these challenges!

Bottles - I can't tell you how much I like this photo. Wait! Make that LOVE this photo. This is the only photo of a cicada that I have seen that I feel qualifies as eye-candy. He's cute, adorable and sweetness all rolled into one. I need to introduce his make-up artist to Rocky! (See my exhibition entry Rocky's Refection and you'll get my drift....) Gosh this little guy is so cute!!!

Not sure this little guy would win any beauty contests, but terrific focus and exposure on him, great macro entry. Lora
