I’m a bug-o-phobe, but this picture is pretty interesting.
Cool shot. Gives meaning to the term bug-eyed.
What a great shot! The colors are intense, and I love the way the veins the insect’s wings are mirrored in the foliage. Very nice!
Wow. Great colors. Creepy bug. Cool!
Just FYI for those that are curious. This is a cicada.
You can find out tons of information about them from our Insects Guide, Debbie Hadley.

What lovely colors! I particularly like how the veins in the plant leaves are echoed by the structure of the critters wings.
My daughter took a very similar close up of a dragon fly. It’s amazing what cameras can do! I’ll have to send her the link to this!
Looks like my next door neighbor!
Great shot looks very alien like so close up and all.
Great shot Steph!!!
Wow! The colors alone are a wonderful blend, but I think the textures of the insect and the leaf really make everything stand out.
Wery well done !
great job little sister. proud of you
