Cicadas are fascinating insects that undergo a remarkable transformation during their life cycle. One of the most remarkable stages is the molting process, where the cicada sheds its exoskeleton to reveal a new, larger one underneath. This process can take several hours, and during this time, the cicada is vulnerable to predators. As a photographer, capturing the moment of a cicada molting is both challenging and rewarding. The intricate details of the exoskeleton and the delicate wings of the cicada are mesmerizing to behold, and it is a privilege to be able to document such a unique moment in the insect’s life.
