magic bugs and the siren call (2)

Magicicadas crawled out of the ground recently and attached themselves to branches of my apricot tree while shedding their exoskeletons. (After spending 13 years in the same suit of armour I'd want to throw it off as well.) I collected a few cicada shells for their first photo op.

["Scritch scritch scratch. Take us to your leader"]

["We'll need more than one leaf for lunch!"]

 Eventually they found their way into my house!
