Thanks, Dave.

It was a pretty challenging shot, given my level of sobriety and the lighting conditions at the time.

Hi all,

Well, it's that time again.  Every 13 years, or so, we're overrun with these
dudes.  Up until the past few weeks, I thought my area had somehow been
spared their incessant, shrill drone (is that a contradiction in terms?).
  But, sure enough, the sound began, and I started finding their shells stuck
to the trees, fence posts, lawn furniture, etc.

I caught this one alive, making his way up a support beam in the garage one
night as I was having a lovely beverage.  I named him "Coolio" -- because I
was drunk.

Again, this was shot with my K 50/1.4 on the K-x with a reversing ring.  ISO
100, f/11, 1/180 with flash.

I figured I had to get a shot now, since I won't get a chance again for 13
years.  Comments welcome as always.

Thanks!
