This one was being harassed by ants. I took it home to protect and photograph it.
See sighting of the same insect a few hours earlier:
Cicada (Hemiptera, Cicadoidea) Psaltoda moerens (Redeye Cicada) on 3 Dec 2019
It eventually crawled up the garden tree in the background and began its new life in safety.
