This was a series of shots over a period of about 2 hours. The first shot of the cicada in the ground was in late April about 4 weeks ago. The final result was taken from another brother/sister cicada and "Tweaked" up a bit with Photo Shop. All the others are just about out of the camera just a little cropping. To get a close-up of the picture just click on the picture. To return just click again.
