Cicada nymph. Sorry for clipping the feet. Merged from two MPE65 shots. Hadn't bought my 60mm F2 yet at that time.

Cicada fallen prey to a huntsman spider, high up on a tree. You might need to spend some time to find them.

Wow, we have tons of these around us, but you never see them! Just hear them and see the dead ones. Super cool.
