After spending most of their lives underground as nymphs, the 17 year cicadas (Magicicada septendecim) spend the few weeks of their adult lives looking for love. The males are very loud in their “singing” as they seek to attract females. I watched one cicada couple go through a very brief introduction and courtship phase and then suddenly they were mating.
I guess that you have to move quickly when your days are numbered.

Stunning photo, I knew we would see some great cicadas photos from you.
Great shot! In seventeen years we’ll know for sure!
