Magicicada - Brood XIII
Although I initially thought it's a mothership from Starship Troopers ;), I later found out that it is a Magicicada, and a member of Brood XIII. Apparently 2008 was the end of their 17th years life cycle, time at which they come out of the ground.
The picture was taken in the summer of 2008, in Bucharest, Romania.
PS: I actually found out what it is from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/winchesta/541794660/
