This Cicada Nymph has been living underground for several years, and now that it is approaching maturity, it has dug to the surface and it will molt for a final time, flying away as a winged adult Annual Cicada, sometimes called a Dog Day Harvestfly.

Cicadas are an important link to the food chain as they provide food for a variety of creatures, including other insect, birds and mammals.
