Double Drummer cicada

Thopha saccate, the largest Australian species of cicada and said to be the loudest insect in the world. It's at its teneral stage, when it has recently molted and its exoskeleton is yet to harden and get its final colouration. It’s on a Scribbly-gum tree (Eucalyptus haemastoma).
