Farewell Cicadas! Fairfax, 2021.

Over the past few days the ambient noise level has dropped by several decibels, and there is little crushing underfoot when out walking. The cicadas have gone back underground for 17 years.

Headline:  Creature Emerges in Scientists Backyard

Here we have a close up look at the many interesting features that are left behind when a cicada emerges.  This one was in my backyard and left his/her full body suit behind on the shed wall.  Insects are just weird like that sometimes, just how do they go from something that looks like a land crab to a zippy green flying bombardier?
