Cicada

It's too bad that we people can't get out of our skins and start life all over, as the cicada does. What's amazing is how they are able to get out of the old skin (molt) without destroying it. Check out this link to see a live video of a cicada molting. I took this picture of a discarded skin on the side of a mahogany tree three days ago. A family from Austria was on tour with me that day. The couple's young son, maybe 3-4 years old, was fascinated with find.
