Day 12 of 30

Found a cicada on the grass and moved him onto a convenient daylily. Which he wasn't thrilled about, and thrashed his wings rather insistently till he fell off the flower. But I caught him just before he fell, so he's immortalized whether he likes it or not!

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, blurred dead flower head in near background, dodged bug's eye, increased saturation, added border, resized, sharpened.

I think it's funny that you decided to do this. He certainly has that bug-eyed look!

I thought maybe it was two bugs... one eating the other but couldn't figure it out so I read your post. I really like the clarity and catchlight in his eye. I'm not a fan of bugs being on me but looking at them and getting good shots like this of them is cool.

Funny, he sure looks like he's having the time of his life! :)
