Annual Cicada #5

  To me it wouldn't be summer without the sounds of Cicada. Some people find them annoying especially in those areas where the Periodical Cicadas come out in the millions.  But, I can't imagine going a summer without them and feel lucky when I can find one emerging.  Usually they don't come out until after dark and climb up a tree to emerge.  But sometimes you get lucky like this time where I found it in the final stages of emerging early in the morning.
