#homopteran

A face only a Homopteran could love (note, the existence or non-existence of Homoptera as a taxonomic "thing" is contested,  Unlike most of the rest of the world I know little of the details, but there is a notion by some that they (Homopterans) may not actually be an insect order but only a suborder (this would like be being demoted from an earl to a viscount, again, something I have to say I have never experienced, but must be traumatic)).  Againishly, we have Magicicada cassinii, face view, a bit off somehow don't you think?... as if put together from left over parts from other insects.  Also, what is going on with that proboscis?  I thought the adults didn't feed?  If you don't feed then it appears to me that you don't need to bother with a proboscis.   Tech Anders Croft took this picture.

but like wouldn’t a better solution be supervised time outside rather than not letting cats out at all? also that kind of thing depends on geographic area as well as the time of year

*HUGS* (if wanted).

I'm certainly all for promoting more insect life in general, and we're trying to do so, so perhaps lady bugs will join us sometime. I don't think that it'd be any quicker than other options though, so I think I may as well just try to grow some more indoors and give up on the outdoors parsley until another time. Thanks for the replies :)
