Dog-day Cicada Emerging From Its Exoskeleton
Dog-day cicada (Tibicen canicularis) clings to its nymphal exoskeleton after emerging from it in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on August 29, 2023. Before a cicada becomes an adult and sheds its skin it tries to find a plant where it attaches itself with its claws. Many times their nymphal skin will remain attached to a plant long after the cicada has hatched. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
