Quite a few are out this year. Soon they will get to gorge on the 12 year cicadas that are about to hatch everywhere.

Cicadas really let you hear their presence, also difficult to see them, when they come up it's time to hunt under every leaf of plants !LOLZ

We have the 12 year guys hatching now and they do so in swarms. So many its impossible to not step on them underfoot.

So the ones you get are not shy !LOLZ

Ours mimic lichen, blend in although they are about 5cm big, extremely shy, the minute you move they go silent. With 140 cicada species in South Africa, 38 approximately in our province alone they are not easy to photograph, so well done....

Yeah our annual cicadas are like that, shy fast and green. These 12 year guys just have sheer numbers and are black w orange wings and just cover everything. Brute force strategy vs hiding strategy.

Some lie dormant till right weather approaches, they sure know patience!

My cat is so impatient?
He always wants everything meow.
