Great shot of this critter, unfortunately we don't have them here.

@ludwigsdiana the sound almost hurts the ears it is so loud 😂 the sounds of summer in Australia

[Jacqueline]

Wonderfully captured!

[Desi]

Beautiful detail. Quite scary looking. Wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley!

[Mags]

Wow! They look like our cicadas!

[Babs]

The noise they make is deafening isn't it.

[Joanne Diochon]

They do look similar to Cicadas…are they actually called green grocers?

[Bill]

I also thought they looked like cicadas.

[Milanie]

Wonder if they're both the same family?

[Lou Ann]

Great capture of this one.

@gardencat @cwbill @marlboromaam yes this is the green grocer cicada - we have a lot of different ones here and I've seen 3 different species on the property. I'll try and track down a double drummer as they are gorgeous

[Rick]

Great shot. And yes, they can really make a lot of noise. Not sure I'd call it singing, though. :-)

[Valerie Chesney]

Such an absolute beauty..

[Poppo Livy]

Love them. They have been full on this summer
