Wow, it does look like it's still "soft"... I've never seen one that fresh with bright green coloring! Thanks! Congratulations on your First POTD win and welcome to the group, Katia!

I have seen thousands of cicadas on trees, but never one like him. A unique experience for me, through your eyes. Thanks for capturing this image, a real pleasure and congratulations for a great job.
