Cicada CloseUp. Jeez, it's FUGLY!

@crafts: Thank you :)

@Florence: Nope. Only a Canon 100 mm f/2.8 USM Macro. A wonderful lens, if you ask me. :) This subject was very difficult, too: she was hiding in an olive tree, but after 15 minutes under the sun I was able to spot her. So I grabbed a ladder, and reached her. She only let me took 4 photos before flying away: 3 were crap, one turned out pretty good.

@Riccardo: Un po' ? Direi che --come si dice qui in Toscana-- se casca sulla Morte fa scopa! Si cmq la lente è stellare. Inizialmente la detestavo, perché non perdona nessun errore. Ma in quanto a nitidezza...

@Evi: Thanks! Your portfolio is quite impressive. Too bad you don't have an RSS feed, I would have happily subscribed to it.
