A Winner

We do have a What Is It winner....but I have to ask:  Gina, would you have known what that was had I not said "you've seen it before and you liked it?"   lol   Probably.

It's a cicada!   Found him on the ground. 

Picked him up with a stick.

He's too ugly to do anything else with!

Put him on a tree, and this started happening,

much to my surprise!

 Slowly coming out of his (her?) shell

This is the actual photo I enlarged!

 I thought something must be wrong, I wanted to help.

Apparently, this is normal.

 Finally made it out....wings were wet.

 Finally!  All done!
