@dj.tigersprout: Nikon D80, but I think it's the lens, not the camera. I'd just gotten my new Tokina 100mm macro and was trying it out when I took this.

Not that I would call it cute, but it looks cuddlesome. Excellent details, btw!

Interesting the difference between these cicadas and their Japanese cousins.

You sure do well with your insect shots - I remember the grasshopper - would make a great framed set.

@Ronnie 2¢: Was testing my new --at the time-- Tokina macro lens with this one.

I think you have more cicada images than any other Aminus3 member and not to mention, all excellent.
