Noisy Little Fellows

It's that time of year again and the cicadas are out in force. I was outside painting yesterday and spotted this little one drying out his wings on one of my acers.

Nice shots Steve, love their colours but boy are they are deafening! On the way to the mountains over the weekend I could hear them as I was driving with the windows up and the radio on.

Great shots, Steve :thumbsup: We used to get lots of green grocers, brown bakers and cherry noses when I was a kid growing up in Padstow. Sadly now we get hardly any, and the few we get are only the green ones.

Great pics, the last one is my favourite.
Well done.
