This is Part 3 of my 2025 Morning Cicada (Swamp Cicada, Neotibicen tibicen tibicen) review.
These photos are of cicadas that have recently molted from their nymphal skins and are expanding and hardening their wings.
Expanding wings, with a few wrinkles
Wings hardening and folded against the cicadas’s body. Interesting blue-green eye color
