Cicadas are big

Leaving work one day, I heard a really loud buzzing sound coming from one of the (relatively) newly planted trees by the bus stop. Walking closer to find the source, I came across this monster of a bug, which I later learned was a cicada.

I hear them quite a bit around the house and the ponds, but this is the first time I’ve seen one up close and in person.

It was pretty large, about the size of the palm of my hand. Had no idea they got this large. It’s pretty intimidating looking, with the camo colouring. I’m sure I wouldn’t want one flying at me or landing on me.
