@Double KK Photography: Thanks KK!
Speaking of wicked... I really like it - great detail. I think in the next one, you need a familiar object to provide a sense of scale. These guys are huge, like flying cigars.

Are they bothering you? Let me know and I'll send my beatle warrior I shot today to liquidate them :-)

I have never seen anything like that in my life, whoa, how big are they?

@Dawn Sutherland: They can be as big as a small old man's hand. Don't you get cicadas in the U.S.? Thought they were everywhere? Maybe too dry in Phoenix?
great macro, but EWWWWWW !!! ..lol

Oh my god you managed to capture the semi, excellent photo Daroru! I only have a photo of a semi that died, so I decided to try to make photos of them and 2 days ago when I was going to the university I tried to make some photos of semis and one of them attacked me, I believe he was some sort of Kamikaze Semi, really aggressive fellow, he went straight to my right eye, coming from the side, so I could only receive the impact; I was only getting ready for making the photos and as a result of the attack I could not make photos, haha, =)

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: I have never heard of an aggressive semi Alfredo! Take care...
