    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    There were some local teachers raising money that would eat a Cicada for each donation. Deep fried is the preference!

    When I was reviewing my shots, I was looking for the full wing spread. I came back and found this one later and was thrilled that I could actually see the straw in the juice.rolleyes1.gif

    good series Ric.

    Cicada's are all over up here. The Milwaukee zoo is letting the monkeys eat them. I guess they are tasty & high protein.eek7.gif
    **If I keep shooting, I'm bound to hit something**
