Byrd Cara Cara 2, with Cicada

The cicada IS alive (or at least was when I took the photo), & was very tolerant of me taking this photo, knife & all... But there it was, sitting on a sandbag, what was I supposed to do -- NOT take a photo of the cicada with my EDC pocket knife?!?

    LOL!  I was just going to ask how you got the cicada to pose for you.   :)

    Nice work!

    With you being up in Minnesota, I am thinking that the cicada in your photo is the Neotibicen canicularis. I have not had the opportunity to see one of those before.  I have only seen a few types in person.  Neotibicen linnei (Linne's Cicada), Okanagana rimosa (Say's Cicada), and Neotibicen tibicen (Morning Cicada) are the ones I have seen personally.

    Lucky you!  Nice looking knife too!
