The Black and Scarlet Cicada (Huechy sanguinea)

Here's a very interesting snapshot in time, when I visited Nam Nao NP, back in February 2012 at the stream that runs through the headquarters. It's a newly emerged Black and Scarlet Cicada, Huechy sanguinea. One of my favourite captures ... and oddly enough, a year or so later, I saw another one emerging and managed to get a lot more photos of the whole process ... though the photos are somewhere deep in my archives at the moment. Will add them as soon as I find them.
