I came across this Cicada while in the midst of it's molting process or Cicada Ecdysis!
Rather amazing to watch and very Jurassic Park like. I suspect the faint of heart would disagree but whadda they know...
I moved the dude to a Gerber Daisy leaf. Thought it would be safer than on the walkway. I was hoping to watch as it's wings expanded but the process can take some time. The plan was to periodically check back in to see how the process was going but I got sidetracked and when I finally checked back in the dude was long gone.
Fairly certain this dude is one of the many I hear each night, ah summer nights!!
