Genus Okanagana
This beautiful teneral cicada, who had recently broken out of its little shell, was just waiting for its wings to
dry fully. I came back about 15 minutes later and the cicada was gone to a safer location to complete the
process--I think I scared it off with all the camera flashes. They do not get their final coloring
until they have completely dried. © Carol Davis, 5-28-2009
