Just a little something for the blog. I photographed this cicada in a park in Copenhagen a couple of days ago. The scientific name is Acicerus heydenii. I have no idea whether you have the same species in the UK, but if you are in any way interested in simulacra - please observe the rather strange face on the back of this thing. The animal is only about 12 mm's in lenght. I think it looks like a troll peering out of his cave, but my sons are leaning more towards some form of African tribal mask.
