I’m talking about the red-eyed freak bug on the chin of the red-eyed freak human by the way, not the other way around (photo: Tinaxo, Newcaste, Australia).
What kind of red-eyed freak is that?

Totally a cicada. They rule, as long as they’re not continually falling out of trees and into your convertible.

Yep, definitely a cicada (more commonly known as a locust in some places). I grew up on Locust Street in NY, and it was named that for a reason. You couldn’t walk 5 feet outside without seeing one of their shells on a branch or plant. Don’t even get me started on the noise they make!

Bugs aren’t my thing. That photo made me cringe a bit. I remember going to a park for a stroll, and I walked underneath a tree just swarmed with June Bugs… scared me a lot. They’re also very noisy, large, and harmless.

great pic .. I really like it … when I was 17 my town had a mordid infestation of the “17 year cicada ” It was crazy … you had to carry a tennis recket with you when ever you left the house to combat the millions of sceamin swarming locusts trying to dive bomb your head lol …. to bad this guy wasnt here looks like he would have been in heaven lol

I winced. Bugs scare the piss out of me for some reason. Incidentally, I wish more people wore larger-gauge nostril rings (that looks like about an 8, maybe a 10, am I right?), especially guys. I think they do a lot more for the face than studs or smaller rings

The cicada appears to be an abdomen amputee, and most likely of species variety: Dead cicada.

We’ve got big cicadas in south Texas. Haven’t seen the red eyed guys, yet.
But they are deafening loud…and if you get hit by one flying by, damn they’re solid. (They don’t steer very well.)
