Dogday harvestfly (Tibicen canicularis)

Not exactly what you want to find on your shoulder while you're trying to work... but that's where this fellow decided to crawl to.

Actually, I would want to find it on my shoulder. I'd find it creepy too but cicadas are one of my favorite macro subjects. Posted 10 years ago

  If I found it on my desk (or at least somewhere I could see it instead of having no way of knowing what the big flying insect on me was), knew what it was right away (somehow, this managed to be the first time I ever actually saw a cicada, so even after I could see it I didn't know it was harmless until after I trapped it), had a real camera with me instead of just my smartphone, and wasn't in deep concentration trying to untangle a bundle of very ugly legacy code... it would've been a nice opportunity.
