Bladder Cicada

“It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out.
THAT's what life's all about.”

Excellent macro, Annie - you've captured the detail of this odd creature very well.

[Annie D]

@vignouse you are not familiar with cicadas?

[Richard Sayer]

@annied I was well brung up by my mother so I'm not familiar with anyone... except Mr. S of course.

[Annie D]

@vignouse hmm I am intrigued Richard lol

[Richard Sayer]

@annied Familiar in the sense that I am not always respectful to him (but then who is - certainly not you!) as you well know, lady.

[Annie D]

@vignouse haha I think we all have a mutual (dis) respect for each other - it is all about keeping the mind active haha
