Cicada Molting

I love their songs. They must taste pretty bad cause he sure looks vulnerable waiting for his new wings to extend and dry.

WOW that is AWESOME! I would love to see that! I see them after they molt, but never during. You sure were in the right place at the right time that is for sure!

In all my years I've only seen the shells. Neat picture.

Yep - I had never seen one either. I only had my Iphone so didn't take other pictures but would have loved to do a time lapse.

How cool is that. I found the leftover outer of two a couple of weeks back, but I've never seen them actually molting.

I bet they taste crunchy like carrots or crickets.

I remember finding these as a kid. We collected the "shells", they're usually really common on long leaf pines.
