This time lapse of a cicada molting from its shell took over an hour of time from start to finish.
The time lapse of the process of changing from a nymph to an adult condenses the entire metamorphosis.

At the end, the adult cicada hangs on to the exoskeleton as the wings fully form and it dries out.
The unharmed cicada was safely put outside to fly away after this video was photographed.
