Field Notes
Notes:
I found another cicada struggling to complete its final nymphal moult — see my previous spotting (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8700765) — but this one was still alive when I found it on the ground on my walk to work. I placed it on a tree branch, where it stayed until I found it again on my walk back home. Thinking it had died I brought it home with me to photograph, but since then it was shown signs of life. It isn't locomotive anymore, but just slowly kneads its foreclaws in the air. Poor thing....!
