That insect was part of a brood of millions that emerged this summer in the
midwest, after developing and hibernating in the ground.  They come out every
17 years and live only about two weeks, I think.  The picture was taken near
Chicago, where there was a noticeable drone from their mating buzz, and where
the ground was littered with their carcasses.  I live in Milwaukee, 90 miles
north, and we have only the usual annual cicadas that are larger, and not as
pretty.
