Finally! Found a cicada that held still for about three clicks before it flew away. Since eldest has asked for bug images, this is for him. These late summer critters have been singing for several weeks now. Is first frost just a few weeks away then? I'm not sure they are accurate weather forecasters, as it certainly doesn't feel like it today.
great close-up, it looks like he's popped in to see what you are up to. never seen one this close up, the mouth parts looks like a dust mask a workman would use.
