Vulnerability
Vulnerability definition: emerging from your shell only to be caught in the glare of some stranger's camera lens, having less than adequate wings, not to mention the stress of some feathered creature looking for a fresh afternoon snack.
I find the cicada (this kind commonly called Dogday Harvestfly) "shells" hanging all over the pine tree in my yard and have wanted to see how these things "hatch" for a long time. Boy did I get lucky today. Got to see one from beginning to end (took about 15 minutes). I will be sorting through many other shots and posting a few more in my photostream as I have time.
Frame only done in picnik.
