      Thanks! I love their colors when they are freshly emerged. This is the second time I've found one in this location:
      Cicada Molting into an Adult - Neotibicen sp. This cicada was emerging from its exuvia when it came off the tree! We stayed and watched it until it was completely emerged and then set it up on a branch in a protected spot.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Mostly coniferous forest<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/83258/cicada_molting_into_an_adult_-_neotibicen_sp.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/83259/cicada_molting_into_an_adult_-_neotibicen_sp.html Eclosure,Geotagged,Neotibicen,Summer,Teneral,United States,cicada,cicada molting,ecdysis,exuvia,molt,molting
