Annual cicadas are one of my favorite bugs. As a kid, I loved falling asleep to their buzzing while camping, collecting their molted shells, and tryig to catch them around the yard. One summer, I went outside to climb our crabapple tree and found one in the middle of molt. I sat in the grass and watched it as long as my attention-span would allow and came back later in the afternoon to see it had emerged. I kept its shell on my dresser for years." - Zania
