We sent our photographer out with instructions to find cicadas. Here is evidence of them – holes and exoskeletons – but no actual cicadas. We told him to keep looking. (RSP)
Here’s cicada that has recently emerged from its exoskeleton. Its wings are still drying out (RSP)
Two cicadas hanging on, waiting for their wings to develop their final form (RSP)
Cicada slowly making its way up a tree. All parts are in their final shape (RSP)
The birds are out in force, for them, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime all-you-can-eat buffet (RSP)
Not just the birds are feasting, here ants binge on the bodies of cicadas that did not make it out of their exoskeletons. (RSP)
