Today I noticed a newly emerged cicada (one of the over 200 species that are to be found in Oz) whose wings were still not fully dry. It was a species I had not seen before and I was struck by the beautiful colouring of both it's body and the diaphanous wings.
Summer is certainly just around the corner when we start hearing cicadas and at present their calling is supplemented by one of their hunters the Cicada Bird which mimics them to attract them to its tree which is much easier than chasing after them. So far I haven't been able to get a decent photo as they are generally high in the treetops.
