This singing Amphipsalta cingulata male "clapping cicada" from Miramar, Wellington, NZ, is probably only days old because the tiny silvery setae covering his body are still very much in tact and reflecting the sunlight. Note the long straw-like sucking beak, spotted compound eyes, and “nose” (cibarial pump) like the grill of a 1940 Oldsmobile. - Chris Simon
