Anapsaltoda pulchra
The Golden Emperor cicada is a beautiful insect that appears in summer around the rainforest in Far North Queensland. The sound you can hear in the video is the males singing to attract a mate.
Usually we find their shed exoskeletons attached to trees or fence posts, but in these videos the live insects were so plentiful that the kids were actually able to hold them – check out how LARGE these creatures are compared to little fingers!
