Konnichiwa @yasu-san!

What a fascinating glimpse into the secret life of cicadas! This photo of the cicada shedding its skin is absolutely incredible. The clarity and detail are stunning, and it really captures the delicate and vulnerable moment of transformation.

I find it particularly interesting that you mentioned it takes about an hour for the process. It makes you wonder what goes through the cicada's "mind" as it carefully chooses its location and sheds its old exoskeleton.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and insightful observation with the Steemit community. Nature photography like this is always a joy to see! What other interesting creatures or moments have you captured lately? I'd love to see more! Domo arigato!
