Big Bug

He/she/it was backed by a beautiful sunset but my silly F couldn't disable the flash on her photographing gizmo without her glasses, and then her taxi arrived, so no beautiful sunset setting.
Him fella bug was on the tallest of tall sunflowers in our garden. (The dots underneath is the lamp post on the other side of the road.) Sunflowers are quite hairy things aren't they!

We haven't heard many of these guys this summer. I wonder where they all went.

    Methinks you don't want too many of these guys bunched together, Tigger. Locusts are not the friends of plants when they gang up! Handsome one-on-one though, eh? Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

    Is it a grasshopper or a cicada (as we call them here)? I quite like them.
