After sharing a photo of me photographing a cicada shell on a tree yesterday, I thought I’d share photos of a Fall Southeastern Dusk-singing Cicada today.<\/p>\n

\"SideSide view of Fall Southeastern Dusk-singing Cicada \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/320, ISO 1250, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

These photos were taken yesterday after horrendous storms swept through the area. Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> and I were cleaning up heaps of branches and debris from the storms when Steve found this cicada on a fallen tree branch.<\/p>\n

Both of us grabbed a camera and started photographing the cicada before it decided to fly away. The cicada may still have been stunned by the extremely high winds and copious rains that fell overnight during the storms. They were wicked, lightning and wind filled storms!<\/p>\n

In the interest of full disclosure, I edited this image to tone down a very bright, white spot of lichen on the upper right side of the pine branch. I found it distracting.<\/p>\n

I don’t usually like to do much editing, but I felt that this head on view of the Fall Southeastern Dusk-singing Cicada deserved all the attention, and removing the white lichen helped achieve that.<\/p>\n

I used Google Lens to help identify the cicada species and then used iNaturalist<\/span><\/a> to verify my ID.<\/p>\n

Fall Southeastern Dusk-singing Cicada is a species found primarily in the southeastern United States. Its range includes states such as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. This cicada is notable for its singing behavior, as it primarily sings at dusk, which is reflected in its common name.<\/p>\n

Fall Southeastern Dusk-singing Cicadas are typically observed from July through the fall season. In terms of physical characteristics, the average size of these cicadas ranges from 2.1 to 2.4 inches.<\/p>\n

But what a long name they have!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
