Black Prince Cicada

Psaltoda plaga

Notes:

Spotting and photo by my husband, Nathan. This guy must have been in our house... sneaking in to open the Christmas presents?! I'm glad I didn't see it though, it would have freaked me out. ; )

Great photo!! The big red eyes give it the common name 'Red eye ' of course!

Leuba - a big shoe! Nah, only kidding. I'm not 100% sure what happened to him, but knowing my husband, he was safely released into our yard. (Maybe he went off to guide Santa's sleigh with those big red eyes!)

Beautifully clear photo ! - love the detail in his wings and his garnet eyes. Did he get anything for Christmas ?
