Spent some time chasing around a cicada this afternoon. The little guy kept on the move making it hard to get a decent shot.

Ron, glad you kept up the chase, these are some great shots!

You don't see them very often. I think I have only ever seen 4 or 5 in my lifetime. Nice going!

Just because it is ugly, is no reason to kill it.

When I lived in Kentucky, we would get hundreds of them, we used to play with the shells after the crawled out of them. I wish I could see them now that I am into photography.

So that is what they look like up close. Great set. One of my pups brought one into the house. You could hear it chirping inside his mouth. Yuk.

Nice set there, Ron. I don't miss the noise those things would make when I lived in Indiana, it was constant and almost deafening at times. Their exoskeletons were cool to find.

 

[Ron Evers]

Thanks for all the comments folks. I cannot hear them anymore, even with my hearing aids in.
