My apologies, Brian.
You're from New Zealand, as I recall. No offense intended, I assure you.

Hi all,
Well, it's that time again. Every 13 years, or so, we're overrun with
these dudes. Up until the past few weeks, I thought my area had somehow
been spared their incessant, shrill drone (is that a contradiction in
terms?). But, sure enough, the sound began, and I started finding their
shells stuck to the trees, fence posts, lawn furniture, etc.
I caught this one alive, making his way up a support beam in the garage
one night as I was having a lovely beverage. I named him "Coolio" --
because I was drunk.
Again, this was shot with my K 50/1.4 on the K-x with a reversing ring.

I figured I had to get a shot now, since I won't get a chance again for
13 years. Comments welcome as always.
Only every 13 years? That's a pity.
Down here it wouldn't be summer without the annual sounds of cicadas
'singing'.
That's a good shot - the shallow depth of field with the sharp focus on
the head and eyes works well.
Cheers
Brian
