The little cutie pie larva baby looked like this! All muddy from his journey out of the ground. He was a fast crawler.

In the morning, the larva was just an empty shell!!

And this dude was in the bug house instead.

The miracles of nature. Out came a member of the loudest insect species in the world!

We played with him for a few minutes and then took him outside and he took off to the top of the nearest tree to go find a friend by making the magical buzzing of a hot summer afternoon.
