The noisy one in calm mode

ID: Cicada

While on a trail to Panorama point we came across several cicada molts and very close to it there was a live cicada perched on a light pole. But as we reached close to it the cicada flew off and left us parched for a good shot of it. Luckily few metres from the spot we encountered another beauty perched on a tree bark, giving us a chance to get better frames(in natural perch) and to top it the beauty was cooperative enough to stay long enough for all of us to get some frames.

Nice one. i would have loved some more sharpness on the head. At what height was it perched? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
