I spent more than a little time in the dark, following this cicada up a tree, onto a limb and patiently awaiting the culmination of his metamorphosis. In the meantime, curious neighbors drove slowing by the trees in front of my house --- probably wondering why my rear end was protruding out from under a tree... :-))
I can only imagine their perplexed faces... but it was all worthwhile waiting and going through it all! So interesting ;)

@ManuelaR: Fortunately it was too dark to see their faces... and I couldn't hear their comments either... :-))
Fabulous capture!

@Laurie: Thank you and I'm sure no one was carrying a wide-angle lens good enough to get me into the entire photo...:-)
Your effort has been well rewarded. Great capture!
