Cicadas
Gossamer Wings
Every year as we approach Christmas a truly remarkable transformation takes place.
Everyone has experienced their call at some level or another.
A few years back we had so many Cicada’s in the surrounding bush at Woollamia it was impossible to stay out side for more that a few minutes.Their call was so loud it actually made your ears hurt.
I think this year could be another one of those years, because yesterday I took a quick look around and on nearly every tree and fence post I found groups of this amazing insect in every stage of it’s transformation.
From the prehistoric looking hard shelled body emerges an amazing and beautiful gossamer winged beauty ready to fly.
