Okay, ya’ll. I’m sorry for making this harder than I expected. What was I thinking??? No winners, but thank you for making me laugh with some of your guesses.
I could drag this on just to see what you come up with next, but I want WINNERS!
Therefore, here are a few hints:
- You hear them on hot summer evenings.
- They have wings.
Want one of these? Yes, yes you do!
The “contest” goes on until I have three winners!
The first three people to correctly identify what is pictured below – now with hints, and an expanded view of this “thing” – will win one copy each. I will announce all the winners as an update to this post, as soon as I have three.

Ready? Now take a look! What is it?
Hmmm. Maybe not so mysterious now…
Come on! You got this!
Tell me!
so then it has to be a cicada!
You bet’cha!
Death’s head moth!
I had to look at a pic of a death’s head moth…very close in looks! Sadly…no. 🙁
How about a Cicada bug?!?

Yep!
Cicada! I can go to bed and sleep easy now I know *grin*.
I love cicada’s and love the sound they make. Wonder if our species make the same noise as yours? I remember as a kid collecting the moulted skin ’cause it looked so cool. I got to see one moulting once as well.
I love their sound too…as to the noise, all I know is when it’s late summer, they get so loud you can hardly have a discussion with someone if you’re outside. It almost gets to the point of being a crescendo! 🙂
Oh, darn, I think I’m too late!! With your hint, the Cicada was my guess! Wore my brain out yesterday! I’m still getting your book & congrats, again!!!!
You did just miss it! We had a winner over on Twitter too. Thanks Jeannette!
Cicada!
Yes, and you just missed it!
Yep!
