These are some cool looking cicadas!
Often, when I stop and admire things, I am blown away by the coloration, designs, and patterns that they have. I've met several varieties of Cicadas in my life, but I think I like the coloration of this particular species best. With the interesting shade of green mixed into the rest, it looks amazing and impressive to me. What do you think?
THE BEAUTIFUL CICADA
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Not bad for something that spent seventeen years in he ground in the pupa stage. My Daughter used to have a Dachshund that would catch these, and carry them in his mouth. He would go looking for Momma, and when he found her; he would eat it, because it grossed her out. If he couldn't find her, he usually let them go. I don't think he liked them much, he just liked to watch her squirm. I would call and warn her, and hear the door, close, LOL! He was a rotten Boy for sure!

The coloration reminds me of military-style camouflage. Great job with the up close images. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots @papa-pepper! Love the colours on this one. They sure are noisy though. We must have had our seventeen-year hatch out last year. My whole side garden was covered with them! One or two make life interesting but hundreds...not so much.

He is very pretty. Yes it wasn’t until I came to Costa Rica and saw a turquoise cicada that I realized how beautiful they can be. Yours is awesome @papa-pepper, so nice to see different ones around the world.

WOW! Absolutely WOW! If I ever some visit, will you show me one?
In that video above, about 70 minutes worth of footage I shot was sped up to less than a minute. It is a sight to behold.

Haha if you visit Costa Rica I will show you a jungle full of amazing creatures! It would be an absolute pleasure! That’s a stunning video, congratulations on shooting that. It’s funny how they leave their ghostlike empty cases stuck to trees too. I see a lot of those💛🌴🦋🌈❤️

I think it was @sugarcreek that had a shot of one cracking it's shell, and was wondering what they looked like a couple of weeks ago.

Cicadas come in all sizes and colors! They are the coolest....(and sometimes most annoying) creatures!
Forest cammo is just crazy though!
And those with orange eyes... just wild!
Thanks for sharing!
