Cicada Hunt!


So every 13 years, Tennessee gets to witness the invasion of the Cicadas. Its basically a big, flying bug that emerges from the ground, finds a mate, and dies - all taking place in about 5-6 weeks of the summer. I actually moved to Tennessee 13 years ago, the year of my first experience with these insects. They are quite amazing to see AND hear, as they chirp like millions of crickets, creating a very loud sound.

Cade has thoroughly enjoyed the Cicadas! He loves to listen to them, play with them and even go on a hunt for them! He invited his gal pal, Landry, to come along on a hunt. I followed them to capture the event!

(Crazy to think, that the next time the Cicadas will emerge, Cade will be driving a car!)
