How many of you have seen a living cicada........oh sure we hear them in the trees all the time when it gets hot out........but for me, the only tangible evidence i've ever seen of these weird bugs has been the husks left over after they've molted.......
This weekend at the lake, we ran into this guy..........fresh out of the ground, he was still caked in clay........he looked like a miniature rhinceros without the horns.....Dylan picked him up off the ground and placed him on a pine tree......his forelegs looked like ice hooks........he promptly began climbing.........
We looked up on the tree a few hours later.........and there was nothing left but a husk, split down the middle.........what a strange creature.........

That is a cicada nymph, not the adult.
The adults are much prettier.
