  1. That's incredible! I have heard cicadas many times yet never saw one up close, only on pictures. And when I saw those, they were always on trees, showing wings only. I had never realized they look so bizarre in this position. Awesome! Posted 11 years ago
  2. Wonderful colour morph WLoW.
    GreenGrocer is a bit of a non-sensical name for this one..
    I'm still searching for the red form and a fully blue one.
