Well I got to see it again but this time I got it on camera to give some other folks who never actually seen it happen in person a chance to see the process in pictures… The emerging cicada started around 2200hrs and the process aint complete yet… Its nearly 0100hrs as of now… Ill post pictures later on photobucket because there are too many to put on here (over 20 pictures)… Its 0119hrs now and the last of the pictures took before it flew away… Pictures will be on in a day or 2…
Can’t wait to see 'em, Ivan!
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it too. 
Can’t wait!
That is really cool Bugman, I saw them already…hehehe. You did a great job on photographing it.
Im still uploading, that was just some of them…
We don’t have this bug on our side of the big pond, but I’m still looking forward to seeing this.
Cheers,
A.
Pictures are done uploaded so heres the link… Im planning on doing this same thing for several different insects so ill have to tote around a camera cause this could take place at any time…

Hi Ivan;
Did that bugs body darken up eventually? Ours are much darker in my neck of the woods, emerge kinda pale colored like the one you show but get darker in the am.
Great photos, thanks for sharing!

We have 2 different ones here… We have the pale green like whats in the last picture and the really dark ones… Most of them here are the dark ones so about 1 out of 10 darks are pale green…
That is freaking awesome Bugman. I hope you are working on a fly like that.
Bugman: I’ve never seen the lighter coloration in my neck of the woods, wonder if it’s a regional thing.
Kelkay: Fly Tyer had an easy Cicada pattern a few years back, poly dubbed body, black foam wing with crystal flash underneath and rubber legs.

Wayne, I will have to look that up. Thanks. I made a quick foam one the other night. Kinda cool, but I don’t know how it would work.
Got a link you could post ?? Dont know if its a regional occurance or not but I havent noticed the pale green cicada any other place other than here every once & a while…
Hi Bugman;
A link to the pattern??
Other than the choice of dubbing (in this case crystal chennile was substituted for dubbing), this is the closest I’ve seen on line to the pattern i saw in a Fly Tyer magazine about two years back.

I am thankful the hatch is over here in Middle Tennessee.
They will drive you nuts with that high pitch chirping sound they can make for about 4 to 6 weeks 24/7, the decimal level of that chirping is incredible and last from sun up to sun down. When driving down the road it was like getting hit by birds, your car would be covered with cicadas, you surely didn’t see to many motorcycles on the road during the hatch 
I will say one good thing about the cicadas, the fishing was good!
Have fun with the Cicadas, glad there gone
I like the sound they make… Our magnolia tree by the house gets covered in them…
And…if you get hungry, cicada are edible.
