I have many pictures of Cicadas from a seven year hatch that happened several years ago. If anyone else has any feel free to post.

The year of the hatch the noise level in our area went up too many decibals to count. There were literally millions of them. They were easy to find and easier to photograph. As far as handling they are scary looking but harmless. The off year cicadas are green and the hatch years have red eyes and are browner in color.

Nice pictures. I don't recall ever seeing the ones with the red eyes. They really look interesting. Thanks for posting.

Cool pictures. The second one still has that soft look of just molting. Nice capture.
