I'm finding all kinds of their molts attached to the trees. I find their holes from where they've emerged, under our Morrow Honeysuckle every year. Lots and lots of molts found there, too.<BR/><BR/>I love their sound, but you're right - it means that summer is on the downswing. :-(Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-65418326728365835502008-07-23T15:56:00.000-04:002008-07-23T15:56:00.000-04:00Cool pics Tom.

We used to have dozens of cicadas back in Long Island. One day my bro & I would wake up & find buckets-full of exoskeletons on the trees.
