This week I received a couple of "nature" photos of things found in readers' backyards. First, Kathryn Quinn sent this up close photo of a cicada, asking if it were more of a beauty or a beast. For the record, I think they're very fascinating, until they start buzzing and flying around you, or your dog thinks it's some kind of toy buzzing around the yard just for her. At that point it becomes
terrifying...
What do you think?

Next, Rebecca Ison sent along a photo of what she at first thought to be some sort of albino bee, until she got a closer look to see that it was covered in pollen.
