Haha that toad seems like he's thinking, "I swear to god the next time I'm photographed, there will be blood".

We had a pet duck a few years back that loved. I would catch them and toss them to her. Like a kid after candy. Great pics.

Is there supposed to be a lot of those things this year? I remember 6-8 years ago cicadas were everywhere.

 

[Tispho]

FFS! These gross things are back.

What "bugs" me about them is the huge amount of noise they make.
Last time I was visiting a friend's farm I was driving his open tractor and I couldn't even hear the engine over the damn Cicada racket.

Darned right! You'll lose an eye if one of those suckers slams into you at speed.
