Kobonga umbrimargo How do you like this cicada I found in the back yard flapping around on the ground. It is one I have never seen. It was clinging to a stick which is showing between the end of the forewings. ~50mm longPhoto: Jean

I found that we had photographed this wonderful Cicada on 25 February 2012 in the middle of the day. I am posting it for the records. Don't you love its name! :-)Also photographed in Swan View, Western Australia www.flickr.com/photos/jean_hort/16003164548/

It was a pleasure to see this large Cicada again in our back yard as I have been hearing them singing. They can be found in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Its songflic.kr/p/2kjVwgyPhoto: Fred

We have had some rain and it is so wonderful. I went to check the garden and noticed this little one sitting on the daisies. It is the first time I have been able to get a reflection in a water bubble and I wasn't even trying.

Bathyllus albicinctus Spittlebug or Froghopper - AdultI think these must be the Hippopotamus of the insect world except the nymph lives in a mass of froth on a plant stem. The froth prevents the nymph from dehydration and predators. See Save Our Waterways Now for excellent photos of the nymphs in the spittle.
