As often happens in the spring/summer evenings here, a few little creatures would somehow got strayed into our home. Last week we got this incredibly beautiful creature perched on the picture frame on the wall of our living room. I wish I had a macro lens to take better photos of this creature…

Any of you know what is this? Look at the funny face which reminds me of a frog… or the structure of its legs… but most of all… such gorgeous wings and beautiful coloring it got! We reckoned it belongs to the trees, judging by its colors. If any of you know the name of this amazing creature, do let me know – I’m curious :). Thanks in advance!

Yes, that’s a lovely cicada photo! I have no idea what species it is, but this is the year that the 17-year cicadas are emerging so that may well be a sight that you won’t see again for a LONG time.

be quite loud.
