I watched this guy dry his wings last night When I went out this morning, the spiderwort had bloomed and so had he! (I know, that's cheesy...)
Here's an early riser -- he was about an hour ahead of any of the other cicadas I found in the dark, but I didn't notice him until I was already pretty committed to the one on the fence. On the left at about 1 a.m., and on the right at about 7 a.m.
The two on the left are hanging on obedient plant (a perennial from Funke's Greenhouse, which has amazing stuff), and the one on the right is on a hosta I got out of my mother's yard last year.
