Cicada exoskeleton

I wasn't fortunate as another photographer to be there when the Cicada emerged from its exoskeleton. The wings of a just emerged Cicada is a beautiful emerald-like green in colour. Hey, I had no idea they had claw-like pincers too.

The Panasonic LX-7 has an excellent Macro mode. You can stick the lens right up to the subject.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Yes, I was never able to get it, or even a Cicadia inside the skeleton...http://www.pbase.com/image/145375138
