Macro Monday - Shedding Skin
Back in July, we woke up in the morning to find this Cicada (Tibicen) and his skin. He (or she) had just finished molting and was still drying off. The boys love collecting the discarded skins and it was a real treat to see the insect that left them behind, up close and personal.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that you have a blog award waiting for you at my blog.
I wish I could do that... shed my skin... and maybe a fat layer or two ~ wouldn't that be wonderful! Seriously, it's pretty cool what Mother Nature and all her critters do. Thanks for sharing!
so big!
great macro's
Great shots, I like the noise these make.
Now that's something you don't often see and you got great pictures of it, too.
Great shots! Thanks for sharing!
