While I was out an about with my family 3 weeks ago we were walking around Pelican Bay when this little guy buzzed past my head and landed in a tree right in front of me. I was so intrigued by him. I enjoyed photographing and watching him. A cicada is an insect with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the world, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents. Cicadas are sometimes colloquially called “locusts”, although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are a kind of grasshopper. They are also known as “jar flies”. Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. In parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States they are known as “dry flies” because of the dry shell they leave behind. Cicadas do not bite or sting, are benign to humans but can be pests to several cultivated crops. Many people around the world regularly eat cicadas: the female is prized as it is meatier. Cicadas have been (or are still) eaten in Ancient Greece, China, Malaysia, Burma, Latin America and the Congo. Shells of cicadas are employed in the traditional medicines of China. The name is a direct derivation of the Latin cicada, meaning “buzzer”.

I heard this little cicada “chirping” in the garden and it took me a bit of time before i actually found him on the side of a banksia trunk. Image AS IS, straight out of the camera.

I’ve never seen one before today in my backyard, but I think this is a cicada. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Thanks!

Another closeup of the Greengrocer Cicada. / I hope this doesn’t ruin anyone’s lunch!

The beautiful beginning of the end of these amazing insects….....A 7 year locust (or cidadas as their proper name actually is) emerging from it’s shell….....after it crawled out of the ground from it’s host tree where it was slurping away on it’s roots for years. / This female will then get to mate with about 30-40 males before she finishes laying all her eggs and then takes her final rest. / Our summers here are still filled with the males’ music as they call out to the females to find them.

A little cicada, clinging to some prairie grass, just swayin’ in the breeze. No summer day would be complete without their song and the sun. Used photoshop to clone out some distracting elements, and up the contrast. Shot with my 100mm Canon USM macro, handheld and dodging some frighteningly large mosquitoes!!

This is from 2007 when we were being infested with these bugs. They come around every 17 yrs. I for one am glad they are gone.

Thousands of cicadas were ‘rebirthing’ high in a Queensland National Park. We watched them stagger uncertainly in their unfamiliar bodies to join the sexual piercing chorus that followed.

This lovely green bug, I think is a cicada, and was patiently waiting for me to stop pushing the camera into its vision. It has long translucent wings and big eyes
