Hi all - went frogging last night, and came across this cicada emerging from his shell.....

and a female of the same species

Rel - Excellent stuff! Have more of the Cicada emerging?? , I have always loved the thought of a 3-7 shots series of a Cicada emerging....

Wow. I've seen many empty shells but never seen one emerging before. Cool shot

Thanks for the comments

Here is a quick and dirty sequence shot - out of shell.... hanging down from shell... inflating wings, drying, adult cicada.
Sorry - not great, but done very very quickly in coreldraw ..... but gives you an idea anyway

Thanks again
Rel
