Thanks Gretchen, Michelle and Pamela.
We have mature oak trees on our backyard where I watched the process. Another cicada was climbing the tree while I was taking pictures of this one at the time. Probably I little luck helped too...
I got the molting process right after it had emerged from its skin. It was very interesting and a very fast process about 30 minutes. #8857788
