Cicadas



I found this little fella outside of my back porch when I first moved in to my apartment this summer. It was clinging onto a wooden rail. Fascinated by its exoskeleton, I kept it. I had hoped to encounter more, but have not seen any thus far.
I guess I'll have to wait another seventeen years to see a live emergence of cicadas!

I really enjoy these installations by Jennifer Angus. She has some interesting stuff. Although I'm pretty sure she "grows" her own insects.

Here's her website

Springtime! (in North Carolina...)


In North Carolina pollination season has already started! 
A picture of a bee enjoying honeysuckle at the Raulston Arboretum that I visited this past weekend....
