Garden Pic Wednesday: Cicada On Garlic Chives!

This weeks Garden Pic is a fantastic shot of this Annual Cicada I happened to find fluttering around my garden two weeks ago!
I think it was probably recently emerged and still getting a feel for it's newly dried wings!
 Catching a shot like this is actually relatively rare. 
Once emerged, Cicadas normally take to the high tree branches, where males will trill to attract mates. Normally, I only hear them high above or find their discarded shell on the side of some tree.
Like butterflies, Cicada's go through a metamorphosis to attain this winged form.
 Annual Cicada's are black and green.
