I just started to hear the periodical cicada calls in the woods yesterday, but they either seemed to distant or fragmented for me to pinpoint them. I was feeling really depressed that I might not get to even seen an individual (at least on our land). This area was previously blasted/strip-mined (in the 1970s/80s I think), so I wasn't sure how much ecological damage had been done.

I decided to go for a short walk this morning to see if I could pinpoint the calls again. Once again, they seemed too distant for me to find anything. I walked back towards the camper, defeated, eyes to the ground. And then I noticed this little derpy guy looking right up at me!

I'm thrilled to have met this cutie!
