My arms might look yummy... by cjwhite

My arms might look yummy...

but they are old and tough! I promise! :0)

While I stood in the tall grass with cicadas emerging all around me, I couldn't help but think about the info I read yesterday. Cicadas can sometimes mistake a human arm or other body parts for a branch or plant and try to feed! Eeek! :0)

Great close-up!! The eyes kind of creep me out, but the detail in the wing is awesome! And Yuck!!! Hahahaha!!

Pretty colors, especially the wings, I like the balance of the dark and light. sections. Love the detail; too bad the cicadas can't see their own detail that well. I didn't know they can try to feed on their own body parts!!!!

@annamaker I edited my description. They might mistake a human arm or body parts for food and try to feed. Yikes!

This is a remarkable capture Carolyn - such detail! love the orange accessories! Very funky. Glad too that they did not mistake your arms for a tree trunk. That still has me laughing.

Yikes! I didn't know they could bite. We don't have any at our house. But, there were tons at Natalyn's school today. One of them snagged a ride on me. A lady knocked one off me in the hallway. It was on my back. It was probably only moments from trying to eat me ! Ha!
