I've posted about Cicadas on several occasions previously including last year entitled Jiminy Cricket. The last couple of days the Cicadas have been appearing. Fraser appeared yesterday morning with one attached to his shoe and, despite the fact that he was walking around, it refused to leave its perch. The next one appeared this morning in The Cottage. Unlike the Ladybird I posted about recently this was not in the least bit camera shy. They are both New Zealand native Chorus Cicada/Kihikihi Wawā (Amphipsalta zealandica).

The first two shots are perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, GB. Rather amazing to see so much detail. I like the ladybird in the previous post, too.
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the text I was wondering what on earth it was sitting on in the first picture. Funny. Maybe this one really had an ambition to be a Jiminy Cricket! - I had no idea their wings were as transparent as this.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, GB!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I enjoyed "catching up." ;^)
Indeed, this one was not at all camera-shy, quite the little poser :-)
ReplyDeleteI've not seen cicadas so close up, although I've heard them often both on Sicily and in the South of France.
