Josiah discovered this cicada drying its wings shortly after having left its former shell. Moriah and I were able to capture the beauty of the moment on film. Notice the discarded shell just below and to the left of the cicada.
The cicada -
another testimony to the creativity
and greatness of our God.
For such a hefty looking bug,
the wings are incredibly delicate
and surprisingly beautiful.
It was amazing to see him securely suspended -
hanging from just his two front legs.
Our presence did not disturb him at all.
We were able to get right up close
and examine him in detail without
his moving at all - it was as if he was frozen.
Of course, we did not touch him as they are rather
vulnerable when their wings are drying.
Ahh . . . the joys of home schooling.
