| Ick Ick Ick! I know that nature is awesome and I should appreciate things like that but I just pulled my feet up off the ground for fear that the bug would crawl off of the site and into my living room! Ick.
You posted a picture of a giant moth a month or so ago, right? Terrified of those too...I don't think I could ever live where you do but I sure do envy all the green grass and open space in your pictures...

I'm not normally an insect person but I like taking pics of interesting things with the macro setting on my camera 
And thanks! We are lucky to have such a big fenced yard in the town where we live. I am proud to own this little plot of the planet  | |

Cali lept straight into the air :-)
There are various types of cicadas... annual, every 7 years, every 10, etc.
Great shots, Burns!

It was hilarious.

Happened the other day to me! There was a HUGE one laying on it's back outside my door- it had been in that position overnight. I went to kick it out of the way and it acted like it was just fine! FREAKED me out!!! Bo was standing next to me, and it even startled him...he started barking at it, lol. | |

| | Alpha | Oooh I'd like to see your moth pic.
I don't mind cicadas, grew up w/the hypnotic humm & click of them in Tx and miss that soothing kind of natural white noise. We have them here in Michigan but they don't sound the same.
Here's an interesting site, which actually got me over my extreme-screaming-when-I-see them phobia of the "house centipede", (turns out they hunt spiders). I still hate them, but don't freak out as hard knowing they target yellow sac spiders, and not my clothes or sanity(thought they were silverfish). What's That Bug: Squished, Smashed and Swatted
ps. you'll also see a cicada-killer wasp on there. I used to be terrified of those(when I lived in Tx) until I realized they weren't aggressive to people. They are HUGE.
