Quiet Cicada

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 2 November 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I'm afraid of them and I don't like them, but.....this one was so quiet, as if inviting me to get its profile. It was an August day, this year, with high temoerature and humidity. I was in a dahlia garden in Machida, a town within the Tokyo municipality. And the cicadas were having their daily performance in the surrounding trees....like a lot of broken doorbells!
