Ed I think one of your Cicada's distant cousins the Green fruit beetle came for a summer visit. (edited)

That's a cool looking Beatle. I like the 'old time' video transitions too Sidd. Not a Cicada though!

Strange little creatures. One of my schnauzers likes to bring these into the house. One time it was a cicada alive! We have to do a mouth check before he comes inside.

Entertaining video! Although I expected that you would help him upright at the end. I suppose if he had been on a less slippery surface that he would have been able to turn over with less effort. As we were entering our home the other day I came upon a moth struggling in what appeared to be an abandoned spider web outside the door. I gave him a couple of gentle swipes with a finger and he flew away, with my comment "This is your lucky day." :) Well Done. Your macro vids are always interesting.

You are on mouth patrol mom.. :ha:

Well that is what the camera missed. I was holding the camera in one had and using my tripod to push the beetle so it did not flop off the table. I must have gotten a grip and righted itself then whoosh it flew away. Of course my camera was not even close to pointing in the right direction.

Thanks Peru & Steve. Too bad that once he got on his feet again he flew off...
