    I used to visit Turkey a lot and took some pictures of local wildlife, the insect stuff I do not have a clue what they are.
    The last image is of an insect in Zante, apparently they only appear every 15 years and there were thousands of them and they chirp constantly and are never quiet, this lasts for about 6 weeks before they die off.

          As their main prey are frogs they spend a lot of time swimming.
