Cicada shed

Notes:

Molted exoskeleton of cicada. I think it is amazing that the whole structure stayed intact - even the legs.

I can't imagine that! one more, locally we call it "gareng", looks like similar with one of the most puppet figure. Thanks Karen!

I love them too Wendy! Last year we saw one of the periodic broods & there were millions of them - the sound was almost deafening for a few week. It was amazing!

Wow! In my hometown, if this cicada singing, the dry season will come. Love it!
