when i was on my “cicada trip” in illinois, i found a lot of cicadas that died while molting. after 17 years underground, dying during their big transition. i found it very sad but also kind of beautifully cool? i had to draw it!
when these types of cicadas are molting, they’re white as their exoskeleton hasn’t hardened yet. their exoskeleton becomes black as it hardens

I was so lucky to witness a cicada molting the other night. Truly one of the most beautiful moments I have witnessed in nature. The cicada's wings after it had freshly molted were perfect and beautiful shades of green and yellow.

You will hold on tight to this relic of me, but look inside, I am long gone, and no more, and all that is left of me crumbles into dust in your hand.

And I know it's true, that visions are seldom what they seem

Superb Dog-day Cicada 》 Neotibicen superbus
Look who was molting at my front door the other night!! What a little cutie.
I was very excited to watch this process up close. The cicadas seem to like our stoop, as evidenced by the number of sheddings I find there.
Watching their wings slowly unfold was so cool! Images 6 and 10 were taken 16 minutes apart.
Southeast Texas, 23 June 2024

Celadon.
I found this recently-molted cicada outside my home yesterday. The green color of its wings darkens quickly as the wings stiffen and harden for flight. In Sierra Vista, Arizona.

I am scREAMING because I just got to witness a cicada nymph molting in person!!!! It was such a beautiful bug, I'm so proud of it!! 😭😭😭❤
It took it about an hour from start to finish. Watching it unfurl its wings was MAGICAL! ✨
