User's notes
Recently emerged caught in a spider's web. Abdomen of the cicada missing - probably due to bird predation when the live cicada was initially caught and struggling (not observed). Assumed recently emerged because a fresh empty exoskeleton was observed on the wall nearby, and no cicada of this species was seen caught in the spider's web the day before. A recently emerged Clicking Ambertail met a similar fate two evenings later..
