Cicada Photographs...


"These are a few of my favorite things..."
We took step by step~ moment to moment photographs
of several Cicadas this past Thursday!
They love the five Maple trees in our front yard~


Sharing one Cicada's journey...
Our little Green Jeans!


We found this one just starting to split...


Our own little Olympian~




We were trying to be quiet... move slow...
I had to be within 6" to take these photograph~


(Chariots of Fire music... domm, dom, dom, dom, dommm, dom....)


Amazed~
Their shells stay tight to the tree!



Staying close to my first home...


Wings are starting to open up...


TaDa!


Our beautiful friend~

"Upside down!"

Hope your week is off to a beautiful start~

Thank you for sharing this! I found it fascinating to see the birth of a cicada - something I've never been privy to. Lovely!

What an amazing set of pictures.I've never seen a cicada except in an old origami book and that was made from paper.
