Tina Meegan seems to have a little fellow on her ear for a ride-along (better than on her labret I suppose).

I’d bet a cicada at that distance could cause serious hearing damage (think tinnitus for the rest of your life). Probably > 120 dB.
That’s a risky photo!

i dont know anything about cicadas but every time i see a picture with one someone comments on the lack of abdomen and how it must be dead… but how could it be gripping on to whatevers in the picture? and why would people take a picture with a dead half a bug on them anyways? sorry, just a bit confused…

@33, Cicadas are incredibly stiff when they die. I’ve found dead ones still clinging to trees and they can often be hard to pry off. With a bit of clever manipulation it wouldn’t be too hard to sort of hook one on to an earring, especially when the abdomen is no longer there to add weight.

@33 again, as for why? Why not?

What is the problem that so many people seem to have with cicadas? They’re harmless, what is there to be frightened of?

I like cicadas =) I do not like those “cicada killers”. They are a giant wasp (looks like a mega yellow jacket) and they grab the cicada and….
Now THOSE are big and scary and can sting as well!

in reference to the “cicada killers” comment, while they do APPEAR scary…they are non-aggressive towards people so they rarely sting. from what i’ve learned, the females only sting a person if they’re handled roughly or stepped on. males don’t sting at all. and if they happen to fly near you, if you swat at them…they’ll fly away. unlike other waspy bugs that attack when swiped at…
either way…i loathe bugs. the only ones that don’t bother me are lady bugs and roly poly/pill bugs. even butterflies gross the holy hell out of me.
