I went out to check the trail cam and found this! Looks like a cicada decided to use the strap to hold onto while shedding it's exoskeleton. Super cool and very intact

Cicadas I saw on a hike this morning. At least I think they’re cicadas, I’m no bug expert but they came out of the ground and were very loud. Lowkey crazy there were enough of them around for me to put together a whole stages-of-life timeline, but I guess that’s just how it is with cicadas.
.
Bonus: cranefly caught molting
#Moose Talks#photography#cicadas#cranefly#kinda surprised these turned out decent b/c for a lot of them i was standing in the shade shooting upwards towards a cloudy sky#which in terms of bad lighting conditions is up there with ''midnight in a cave''#it's soo hard to get anything other than a black silhouette when you're doing that#not pictured is the trail being so full of holes that i was lowkey worried it was gonna collapse under me#also not pictured is that empty molt shell moving slightly and scaring the bajeezuz outta me

@greencheekconure27primary submitted: A cicada I found in Greece. A little wet because it crash landed into the sea in front of me while I was swimming. Very polite fellow, hung out with me for a bit until it's wings dried.
Ohhh they wanted to swim with you. Very cute but also they are bad at swimming so glad you rescued them :)

A Cicada’s Exuviae
This is the husk a cicada left behind after its final molt. Imagine how uncomfortable this must have been for the last day or two...but afterwards it can fly.
