Molting

Pegram, TN

Magicicada sp. (13 year Cicadas) are emerging and molting in
full force now. There's such panic each time this cycle returns.
I remind clients this cycle has been going on longer than can
be recorded and plants have survived all those many cycles.
I enjoy the humming sound of them calling each other for a
quick fling during a short period of the cycle above ground.

Canon PowerShot G10
1/40s f/2.8 at 6.1mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Three great shots of this, can see why people are nervous of them, with the noise as well.

Cool shot of this seldom seen cicadas. They sure make a lot of noise though.

You must have been very patient, waiting 13 years to get this ....
