Gotta love a man who comes home giddy with excitement because he has a "picture of the day" subject for you! He was most impressed with how heavy it was. Apparently it was still inside the shell.
Hahaha, made me laugh, this is definitely a man's idea of a picture for the day. We don't have cicadas here so they fascinate me so much! Awesome job on the details.
@wyomingsis Thanks.Not exactly my favorite either. We seldom see as much as hear them around here. @kwind Thank you Kim They are quite large so not difficult to shoot and it was my favorite part of this one too @amyk Thank you Amy They are really quite large so easy to shoot @linnypinny thanks Lin I will do my best! LOL @olivetreeann Yup thanks Ann. @shutterbug49 thank you and I just might do it but this bug is almost as big as my thumb so I am not sure it counts as a macro @dutchothotmailcom Thanks so much Esther. IT means summer is here when we start hearing them @onewing isn't he romantic!? LOL @taffy They probably ARE prehistoric. I can think of things I might rather have had! @cjphoto glad to give you a chuckle. It means summer is here when we hear them outside here. @ludwigsdiana LOL! Are you sure? some hubbies bring flowers! ;~} Thanks Diana @30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks for your positive comments Jackie. Yes and no. We get these every summer but they do make a lot of noise. For us it means summer is officially here when we hear them. @gijsje Thanks bep. the bug is really about as big as my thumb so this may not be a macro but just a close up shot @louannwarren thanks Lou Ann. I think he has succumbed to "If you can't beat it join it" @mcsiegle LOL! Thanks Mary. They ARE interesting to look at. @scoobylou oh my goodness That is funny! @randystreat Sometimes he comes through for sure. Thanks. I liked the wings the most too @marilyn thanks bunches sissy. He is mostly B&W but there was a litttle yellow to his wings so I stripped all the color out!
