Dedicated to cicadas, the most amazing insects in the world.
Frequent Cicada Mania contributor Matt Berger sent us these video clips of a periodical cicada molting and expanding its wings. Enjoy:
If you find a nymph, and bring it inside, it will likely molt.

What if I brought in two nymphs and only one molted? Is there a certain time frame that they must molt within? One molted immediately, the other still hasn’t and it’s been over five hours now.
Is the un-molted nymph still moving around? If it is, there’s a chance it will. If it isn’t moving, it might be dead.
