Nice macro, Walt! I remember their chores from the Iowa Aug. evenings of my past.

Every 13 years, or so, we're overrun with these dudes. Up until the past few weeks, I thought my area had somehow been spared their incessant, shrill drone (is that a contradiction in terms?). But, sure enough, the sound began, and I started finding their shells stuck to the trees, fence posts, lawn furniture, etc. I caught this one alive, making his way up a support beam in the garage one night as I was having a lovely beverage. I named him "Coolio" -- because I was drunk. Again, this was shot with my K 50/1.4 on the K-x with a reversing ring. ISO 100, f/11, 1/180 with flash. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6078219457/ I figured I had to get a shot now, since I won't get a chance again for 13 years. Comments welcome as always.
