Cicada Molting

Last night, just after dusk, I went outside in search of a cicada(locust to some of you) that had not yet molted. I found one, brought him inside and took these pictures and video. Please to enjoy..
Cicada set up
Cicada 4
Cicada 13
Cicada 14
Cicada 23




I made a video similar to this a few years ago...It's the same thing but it takes about 10 seconds.

Very cool, the white background really helps it stand out.
As a kid I remember grabbing the flashlight just about dusk and heading up and down the street looking for the latest coming out. Of course a kid can't do that nowdays or the neighbors might have a fit.
