You're quite welcome. You found one in great position for photos. It just goes to show that each day can bring something new. I'm about to turn 40 and have lived in locations with an ample amount of cicadas, yet this summer is the first time I've ever witnessed one go through its final molt. I can't believe it took this long. :-)
