I think that the red dots on it's (forehead?) are eyes. Am I right?

I'm not sure about the red spots... my guess would be eyes as well. Nice photo!

Yes, cicadas have three simple eyes (ocelli) and the two big compound eyes. Nice photo!

Cool shot.
Almost looks like a human type face right in the middle using the top 2 red eyes.
