You got lucky. One normally doesn't see a live cicada. Lots of molting shells but no live ones. Your photos are very good. Have a GREAT DAY!
Thanks, I was letting the dogs out for their business and it flew right toward me so I went in and got the camera. Took a few minutes to find it and it started climbing. It was cloudy so I grabbed flash when I went back out. It had just rained.
great!!! thats pretty close to a red-tail!!! were you outside??
Walked out to the garage during a break in the football game and didn't notice it , and while walking back to the house I saw him and went inside and brought the camera and tripod out and took photos. He stayed for awhile, he was standing on rabbit he was having lunch with.
