This is Payton. She loves science. She is also a trained observer and a very intense sensitive kid. She hollered the other night when we were putting dishes away from dinner. “Come quick! You have to see this!” Sometimes she drives us all the tiniest bit nutty with her dreamy creative side that means she is always drawing or reading when she should perhaps be listening or cleaning her room. This time it was worth it. The cicada seen here was shedding its exoskeleton right in front of our eyes. This morning it was gone.

Wow! This is totally amazing! You are lucky to have caught it on camera.
Oooo, neat! That’s not something you see every day!
Oh wow, how cool!! And how awesome that Payton loves science..that will come in handy later on in her school years 😉
That is crazy but EWWWW I hate bugs!
That is awesome! My oldest Zackary is the same way, especially with anything to do with natural science. Love that trait!
That is really neat to see, your daughter is indeed a very trained observer!
What great timing for her… just the start of a promising career?
My daughter would have loved to see this!
These are so cool. The boys are always bringing home the exoskeletons and I have to MAKE them leave them outside! LOL!
That is so neat! Very cool that she is so into science. I love things like this too 😉
I love creative, dreamy kids! They’re the ones that always discover the coolest things!
