Baby girl wanted to go outside this morning. Why not, it's a beautiful day. We will take the phone and see what nature has to offer us!!
Cicadas, the night-time forest rooster. Cicadas are fun creatures, they hibernate for years, and when they come out again, they really want to be heard!! Although you can hear cicadas, you cannot always find them. So imagine my surprise when I looked 10 foot from the door and there is a lovely perfectly preserved dead one right here so a photo shoot! How perfect!!
![](This guy is called a pruinosus pruinosus. Took a while looking through the camo cicada collection to find it.

I put a lighter next to him/her for size comparison.
So now I should turn him over and get a picture of his undercarriage so I can identify him properly for all my good steemit friends. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This thing takes off right at my face!!! Of course baby girl is right there too and I admit I almost ran away without her. What a great mom!! She thought it was hilarious! I'm screaming "IT'S ALIVE" and running for shelter. I waited two whole minutes before retrieving my phone and lighter!!
Somebody once mentioned my bravery.... HA!! I've been done in by a bug!!
Share with me your favorite #freakoutmoment. Let's make this a conversation!! Thanks for stopping by!
