Had a case in Hamilton some years ago when a person robbed one of the local pharmacies, and didn’t know a local triathlete was just outside the shop (his wife worked there). So K just followed on foot while he phoned the police and led them to the thief. I think he had to keep track of the person for quite a distance, but it was nothing to him to jog along.

Perhaps I could add the comment here that although many cicadas are brightly coloured as well as noisy, they can be very difficult to see with the naked eye. The only ones I’ve seen have been dead ones.
Did you miss the Great Cicada Blitz in Sydney Jan 2018? Some 66 different species of cicadas were seen.

Alarm Clock Squawker
Double Drummer
Bronze Tree-Buzzer

Southern Red-eyed Squeaker
Redeye
Blue-banded Scratcher
Yellowbelly

Here’s my attempt to cath a green grocer getting out of its skin.
