Cicada Emerging from Shell at Dusk in in Dominican Republic

Cicada Emerging from Shell at Dusk

by Amir Cuevas

Low-angle view shows a pale, newly emerged cicada clinging to a rough, brown exoskeleton shell attached to a dry branch. The insect's translucent wings are still crumpled, drying in the fading light. Dust motes hang suspended in the air above the ground, illuminated by the warm, orange glow of distant city lights on the horizon. The background blurs into dark greens and deep shadows of the dry season landscape. Fine veins in the cicada's legs contrast with the cracked texture of the old shell. A sharp, dark shadow stretches beneath the insect, grounding it against the earth.
