Double Creature Feature. Right now it is like living in a Hitchcock movie: there is a constant ringing sound of Cicadas. This is Brood X, 17 year. I had been thinking about this for the DOF challenge last week and then this challenge came up so I shot it twice: F11 and F4 on a Canon 300mm F4 L first generation. Handheld.

F11 (better)

F4

I'm sure some people hate them but I find the 17 year cycle fascinating and the sound emenating from the trees primodial. I often wonder what genes in these critters are responcible for this behavior and what we could learn from it.

Today I found, by doing The NY Times crossword, that the space between the ribs of an insect wing is “areola”. Last night I found this example on my stained glass lamp.
