"they grow up so fast" - found as a little white bug on the kitchen floor, in 20 minutes it had it's wings, 8 hours it was fully colored. used the internet to make an acceptable enclosure, enjoyed it throughout the day, and released it in the evening. never heard it call, but we are leaving in the am, and can't cycle water and want it to live a full life, otherwise i might have kept it a few more days for song purposes. honestly, it'd break our heart if after 13/17 years, he just died in our kitchen, granted it broke our hearts having our cicada nest emptied. so tiny and cute, little more than an inch. would just love to tickle his toes! brought us lot's of joy.
go henry go, go find a partner. you've got this! 13 years, 17 years, whatever - that's nothing, go on and get some of the world henry! thanks for sharing your day with us, you are easily one of the coolest cicada's we've seen. climb to the top of that maple and sing your heart out!
