Hanging out on my back door...

Remember the nymph shell I found - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/drive-by-shooti/2022-07-20 Can't help but wonder if this is the adult cicada. Phone shot.

Rather creepy but sort of cool too.

Nice sharp eye

They are so prehistoric looking. Wonderful details.

@ljmanning I know what you mean. This one reminds of an armadillo. LOL! Thank you, Laura.

Oh he's gorgeous, great find and capture!

Nice find. Great close up.

[moni kozi]

Oh, look at those wings. But for the veins, they are invisible. How astonishing!

@haskar Thanks, Haskar.

@monikozi Thank you, Monica.

[Kathy A]

Cicadas are such interesting insects

[Mags]

@kjarn They are! So many species and some don't come out for 17 years, some wait 13 years and some come out every year.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Yikes. I don't like them. Great capture, though.

[Pam]

They are so cool looking. Awesome shot!

[Mags]

@mittens Thanks, Marilyn.

@pamalama Thank you, Pam.
