One Raven, look at the images here: http://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/
I know cicadas very well.
I am listening to them outside my window right now.
This was definitely not a cicada.
Not yet, but I will now.Have you looked at pictures of "clearwing" moths - varieties of sphinx moth that fly during the day ?
Yes.Did the wings hide the body ?
Wings were black qnd clear sections separated by what liked like the leading in a stained glass window.What colors were prominent in the wings and body ? Iridescence ?
The body was pewter gray.
I didn't get a good enough look at the eyes, but no colors stand out to me at all. I think they must have been black or gray.Were the eyes large ? Colored ?
