The Cicada holding on to it's shell that he has lived in underground for 2-17 years. Why the big difference in years I have no idea but that is what the description says in my narrative off the internet in this image of him maybe it depends on the the type of cicada? Here he is drying his wings out, It was amazing to watch this transformation. I wonder what he thought of us staring at him up close Lol! I did not hurt him either I just let him be, it's all a part of nature and what she has to offer, ( I would have squashed him before I got into photography) Lol! I watched him as he made his way up the Maple tree and kept changing in appearance.

Now how many of you remember this song I remember doing a gym routine to this song some years ago. :)

Thanks in advance for the comments and I hope your enjoying my series on these weird but interesting looking critters.
