Kobonga umbrimargo How do you like this cicada I found in the back yard flapping around on the ground. It is one I have never seen. It was clinging to a stick which is showing between the end of the forewings. ~50mm longPhoto: Jean

I found that we had photographed this wonderful Cicada on 25 February 2012 in the middle of the day. I am posting it for the records. Don't you love its name! :-)Also photographed in Swan View, Western Australia www.flickr.com/photos/jean_hort/16003164548/

It was a pleasure to see this large Cicada again in our back yard as I have been hearing them singing. They can be found in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Its songflic.kr/p/2kjVwgyPhoto: Fred
