While taking down cloths off the wash line yesterday, I realized a whole world was struggling to be reborn around me...







Unfurl those wings and fly baby, fly. xo

Unbelievably beautiful!!
I understood from some research on the net that for a Cicada it takes two hours to be reborn? Amazing!

That was incredible! I've never seen a cicada before, and I had no idea that they were so "earthy."

I have never seen this type of insect before.
We have lots of ladybirds at the moment.
