Tibicen Emergence 2

After a period of rest while suspended by its abdomen, the cicada eventually musters up its strength, raises up, and clenches its hold husk.

The cicada then pulls itself free of its exuviae.

Still clutching its old skin, the cicada allows its wings to expand completely.

Tibicens generally emerge from the ground under the cover of night. However, they can begin as early as 1800 and may last as late as 1000 the next day. There is no actual set hours when to expect them... Some even emerge in the middle of the afternoon.

Once freed, the cicada will climb into the tree canopy to elude predators. By late in the day, the cicada will be ready for the rigors of its short adult life.
