I THOUGHT THIS WAS PRETTY NEAT.
THIS IS A CICADA NYMPH EXOSKELETON ON THE RIGHT AND THEN A CICADA THAT COMES OUT OF THE BACK ON THE LEFT. USUALLY THE CICADA CLIMBS INTO THE TREE TOPS TO START MAKING NOISE BUT COULDN’T ON THIS PIECE OF GRASS. IT JUST HATCHED SO ONCE IT GETS STRONGER IT WILL FLY SOMEWHERE HIGH UP. GOTTA LOVE #NATURE
Here's one I caught molting a couple weeks ago.

Very cool! Nice timing. I’ve only ever caught 1 in the act my whole life.
Is that a scotch pine tree? The bark reminds me of one.
Definitely pine, not sure what kind. Likely longleaf though as I'm in Louisiana.
Got it 🫡
