This poor guy landed on my hood (I think it fell). I drove to a parking spot, found a branch and snapped a few shots, he flew to the ground and then a low flight across the parking lot before becoming lunch for a small bird! Well Here he is Shot with a Nikon D80, Tamron 60mm, Built in Flash.

I just read the cicada's are emerging in the South East US (here) and that they have red eyes like this. Must be one.
