The theme for February at
The Sketchbook Challenge is CLOSE UP.
Jill Grace posted this adorable little bug (Quesada Domis - which I believe is some type of cicada) on one of her Pinterest boards the other day and I just had to try my hand at it.
Seriously, who takes pics from the "other side" of the stalk? People who want their cute pics to go viral - that's who!!
The inspiration pic can be found
here. Did you know that a couple years back I watched a cicada hatch out from a shell in our carport? It was the most amazing thing - I sat and took pics for about 45 minutes while my husband held the flashlight. I kept asking him why he wasn't holding it steady until finally I looked back and realized that he was playing football on his phone! Apparently, he wasn't as amazed by the cicada as I was - here are a few of my favorite pics from that night:
