Cicada Emerging Shell Glacial Stream Dawn in above a glacial stream in Bangladesh

Cicada Emerging Shell Glacial Stream Dawn

by Lorene Singleton

Cold silver dawn light illuminates a cicada mid-emergence, its pale, wet exoskeleton clinging to the rough, dark surface of an old insect shell. The creature hangs suspended just above a rushing glacial stream in Bangladesh, where mist rises from the cold water in the humid dry season air. Water droplets rest on the cicada's delicate wings and glistening legs, reflecting the pale morning sky. The shell, textured with deep ridges, anchors the scene against the blurred motion of the stream below. one drop of water slides from the tip of the cicada's abdomen onto the shell, marking the precise moment of transformation before the first flight.
