A colorful cicada

Cicada

Our common cicadas in Sao Paulo are about 2 inches long, fat and chunky and seem to defy the laws of nature in order to fly. Their clumsiness is cute in a way

They’re all a greenish gray color, so I was surprised when I saw this fancy one, with all these drawings on its back, and even fancy shoulder pads. Stylish eh?

    Pretty! Apparently Cicadas are full of protein. Ever tried one?

    Cicadas… the body building shake of the future?

    Ugh! I’ve seen an exploded one once (don’t ask), and it looked very juicy.
    I suppose if I was ever hungry enough I would give it a try.
