Do try on black if you can. This Cicada was in his "play dead" mode when I spotted him on my walk this morning. I blew a puff of air and he wiggled but wasn't concerned. Never seen one this close up before.
They really are quite the sight. We heard them all the time while visiting my son last week but they never came out of the trees for me to photograph them. I did get some photos of them several years ago now though. I've been thinking of digging them out just for a look. Good shot and nice processing!
