*humming* It's that time of year again......

Yup...... Last year there were photos of a captured cicada beetle morphing into a cicada of the singing kind.

This year, I didn't haffta bother. Cuz there the little booger was--on our tree in the front yard. Now wasn't that just nicer than nice?
And he morphed as I watched!
Which was cooler than cool!!

k.......I admit I had several neighbors who seemed a bit curious about my newest bizarre obsession--I mean, I'm standing and saying "c'mout, c'mout Mr. Cicada", happily watching up the trunk of the tree forcryingoutloud.

*chuckling*
Oh well!!
If they're talking about me they're leaving someone else alone? ;-)
But c'mon..... ain't he a cute little thing?!
And I just know he'll sing prettier than pretty come tomorrow evening!

Wow! Those pics are awesome Mel! Blessed again by Mother Nature's eye candy!
I had no idea in the morphing, that they went through a phase where their little faces looked kinda like a frogs face! How cool!

just spent two weeks listening to this guy's French cousins

course, they sang in a different language: but the tune was just as beautiful, I'm sure
