I find these little guys fascinating - they spend 17 years a grubs underground & emerge in their millions then only live for a couple of months.

Thanks Cindy!
Frank, I find the sheds regularly if you would like a piece of nostalgia!
I love the sound they make! Growing up we would look for the skins left from the cicada and we would put in our shirt as pins.
Gorgeous shot Karen!
