Pretty awesome creatures (and great photo, as usual.) If only humans could so easily adjust tones according to our surroundings and preference. Alas, our forever shifting moods are less easy to recognize, colorful as they may be. We must rely on so much more than our eyes to discern what another is thinking/feeling. Unless...you're like me – emotionally transparent and easily read.
Here's another superhero creature – the cicada. These guys live as 'underground nymphs' for most of their lives, then emerge, shed their small exoskeletons to reveal these ornate bodies and sing their hearts out until they attract a mate.
According to wikipedia – 'Cicadas have been featured in literature since the time of Homer's Iliad, and as motifs in art from the Chinese Shang dynasty. They have been used in myths and folklore to represent carefree living and immortality.'
