My sister and our nieces and nephew found this exoskeleton of a cicada.

Cicadas were a favourite of my mother’s and the grandchildren have had various encounters with them over the years. Often when Serafina and I are there visiting.

So they were quite excited to find this treasure. My almost 7-year-old nephew said to my sister, “it’s too bad Serafina isn’t here.” So they sent us the photo! 🥰 😍

They found it clinging to the side of a wooden table outside in their backyard.

We found it so interesting that the cicada molted right there instead of on a tree or a plant!
