Lance-shaped, transparent wing of a cicada in the palm of a white guy's hand.

Had a beautiful experience yesterday on a field trip with our local #PayneCountyAudubonSociety. A #MississippiKite caught a #cidada and landed in a tree above our group. It plucked off a wing as it began feeding, and it slowly helicoptered down such that I caught it. #birding #Oklahoma #biodiversity

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Since we've been on BlueSky for less than a year, we're sharing memories from one year ago in Nashville when we had a #cidada #broodxix invasion! Confocal Z projection (color coded for depth) of a cicada leg. 🔬🐝🍃
