Eeywew....not nice, the cicada that is not the photo...the photo is wicked! I'm just not that fond of them, noisy beggers!!

Sharp and clear! Did you alter the colours or are they original?

@MadScientist: I didn't make any color changes. I did bring down the levels in the area around the bug, darkening it, and then boosted the brightness and contrast of the bug a tad.

This gold looks familiar, I recently saw it in a hardware store in a spray can... never mind, do like the detail on this crunchy bugger.

@JoeB: I'm not adverse to apply some spray paint --but usually too lazy for the effort and too impatient for the paint to dry.

I hate those pests, although the Cicida does have an interesting life cycle, I still don't like them.

Good clear shot.
