Cicada in Alabama


While taking a walk at dusk on the local golf course my daughter spotted this Cicada that had just completed the molting process. Wikipedia: Cicada

The challenge I faced was the low light. I did not have a tripod, but I did have my flash. I was trying to get close enough to get the details without blowing out the image with too much flash.
