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.
