User's notes
Mostly exo-skeletons but about six in the process of emerging. No fully emerged adults. A week prior my friend and I saw two nymphs crossing the footpath in this location. Without my glasses, at the time I thougth they were crickets but now relise that they were cicada nymphs making their way to the trees.
