I can't believe my luck. I was letting the dog out, and saw this sight on the tree. This is the first time I have ever witnessed a cicada coming out of the shell. I took this shot just 25 minutes ago...at 8:30PM Eastern time. I used the flash because it was getting kinda dark. Thanks for the comments.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Eeeee-ooo! Like out of a Sci-fi movie! You probably startled the thing. It waited for night fall to emerge and you shown a flash in its face! lol Great clear close up, Jimbob.

Wow!! Jimbo, A great find well captured. Now that you got this excellent image you might want to stomp on that critter before he eats and destroyes everthing in your yard. Excellent work.

Enjoy nature, Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints
I bet it sounds like the wires are singing around your house JimboB. What a cool capture and those shells look like little molds. Makes me think of the pods in the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."

The birth of a locust. See another on the tree who's not that far yet. Great post Jimbob.

Amazing timing Jimbob, that still brings back memories for me collecting the shells. But I've never seen them emerge from the shells. Thanks for sharing this one my friend.

Great close up Jimbob...it's better then many I've seen in nature magazines. Hope you didn't traumatize his first look at the world with your bright flash.
Excellent Work!

As many times I have heard these annoying things in the trees during the hot part of the summer, I have never seen one coming out of its skin. Great capture and timing. Super close-up and post. You know it's August when you hear the BUZZ in the trees.

What a moment. I've never seen that happen, which is odd when you think of the Billions upon Billions of these critters that emerge every year around the world. I must have my head in the clouds.

Nice shot. Looks like a 'dog day cicada'. Locust are short-horn grasshoppers.
