Brood X cicada close-up

They are about an inch long, with red eyes, black bodies, and clear wings with orange veins. None are in the part of Michigan where I live, so I had to go a few hours south to Ohio to see them. They only live 4-6 weeks once they emerge.

A beautiful insect but not very popular during their irruption year, I assume.
