It's Not a Butterfly!

Went out to my butterfly bush in search of a butterfly. Zoomed in and snapped this shot. Whoa, it's not a butterfly. It's a cicada, aka locust.

They don't compare to butterflies, do they?! Nice close-up!

I'm not fond of these insects, but I do like the colours on this one!

What a strange looking creature, something from outer space. Super close-up capture Kim.

Wow, Kim! I've been trying so hard to catch a cicada this summer, but can never find them even though their "music" nearly drowns out my thoughts when I walk among nature! Great shot!

Amazing Kim -- what a fantastic capture and such clarity in the eyes. Excellent shot!

[Kay Hodges]

Brilliant shot Kim, and thank you for the fav you gave me for the poppy.

Awesome focus and POV!

Very beautiful shot!

[Gayanne Campbell]

Awesome close up, it has beautiful coloring, in fact, at first I though it was facing you and had it's mouth open. Then I realized that it was the back of it. Great detail and an amazing find.

Amazing detail! Fav
