Anyone for Cricket

He's not a cricket he is a Cicada, and they make a heck of a racket. They rub their back legs together and the sound they make is just like the buzz from an electricity pylon. They tend to live in the pine trees and on our golf course we have hundreds of trees and the noise these things make is tremendous.

I photographed him on the steps in my back terrace, he eventually flew off into the pine hedge that we have.
