Welcome to the wonderful 17 year itch!
Monday morning I first noticed the Cicadas were out. I took some photos and video of cicadas then and this morning, they are out in full force at our house. It would be nice to get a step-by-step photo shoot of one cicada emerging, so hopefully that will happen this weekend.
They are covering the bushes behind the house. Their holes and little quiet sleeping forms have been in my garden beds for weeks now. Finally we can hear them whirring away. Now the fun begins.
Included in this set are:
A partially squished white cicada (they are white right after they emerge from shell).
A cicada with a messed up wing.
Cicadas having a cicada happy hour on my bluebells.
A basic cicada picture.
Cicadas on my azelea.
A cicada emerging on a wild onion.
A cicada wing.
Cicada holes.
The hairy legs of a cicada shell.
A pile of cicada shells by an oak tree.
An emerged cicada still white with wings.
An emerging cicada peering with red eyes over its shell.
..and more that I didn't note here.
And, of course, various videos. Of exciting things like cicadas crawling. *whoo*.
Enjoy!
