Green Cicada…new artcard

 
A few days ago I photographed this little critter in our backyard. A lot of animals especially insects are waiting for the rains to begin. A cicada has 5 eyes.(2 big ones and 3 smaller ones to detect light). They can spend 2 to 17 years underground as a nymph sucking on tree roots before coming to the surface. Male cicadas make the loudest noise in the insect world. Most cicadas live for between 2 and 4 weeks sucking on the sap of trees.
