Cicada


While I was taking a photo of the sunflowers, I suddenly realised my nose was a whisker away from this ugly blighter! They make an amazing sound, but aren't so nice to look at. My immediate reaction was to run away as quickly as possible, but I summoned up the courage to take a photo. He was about 2.5 inches long and looked like he could pounce at any point. I know they fly, but I'm pretty sure they don't jump! We've started to see their little dead carcasses lying on the pavement - I guess this is their time to start leaving this world. I'll miss their chatter.....
