Backyard Wildlife: Cicadas!

I loved the sound of cicadas in the summer-time. It wouldn't be summer without their twilight tunes.

At dusk, one night recently, I found a little cicada busy shedding his skin and gettin' some new wings. I can tell you, in my official experience as an East Texas girl, these sightings are rare. My goal in this post is to get an "Oh cool!" vs an "Ewww!" but I'll take an "Ew! Oh...cool!" as well. Or silence. Silence is good (haha!).

All 5 pics were over a period of about 15 minutes. God's creatures are amazing- are they not?
