Cicadas

Ever since my first night in Kansas, I've discovered that there exists some kind of loud buzzing insect that goes off every night. I've also discovered in the morning when I go to walk Cory, I see tons of brown exoskeletons that has been molted by some kind of creature.



That brown exoskeleton that the more colorful insect is hanging onto is what I am referring to.

This morning I saw something very similar to what this picture holds. That colorful winged looking insect right next to the exoskeleton.

I figured that this must be the insect that is making the ruckus every night.... I do a little bit of googling and find out that it's called a cicada!! I'm just excited that I found out what it was. =)

Note to self:
