Nice! How long did this process take? I may be wrong but I think the term is exoskeleton, which it is shedding.

Hi Texentric,
I think it must have taken about an hour or maybe a little less. I first saw it when just the head was coming out. I checked back several times and got photos. I'm not sure how long it had been out completely when I went back for the last photo.

Great shots. That thing looks crazy!

And dont these insects make a ton of noise, but only come out of the ground every few years?

Ryan - Yep. They do make a ton of noise and some live underground for 17 years. I found a website with a bit of information on cicadas.
