Saw this cicada emerging from its shell yesterday morning and ran to get my camera.
I had planned to document the event with pictures every few minutes, but it was too low on the tree trunk. By the time I went out to take the next picture, the dog had eaten it.
While I didn’t actually see it happen, I’m sure that Tinker, our black and tan miniature dachshund, was the one that did it. She is a dedicated hunter that eats everything she catches – moths, crayfish, lizards, moles – you name it, if she can chase it down or dig it up, she’ll eat it.
Dachshunds aren’t supposed to be climbers, and they aren’t supposed to jump, but she doesn’t know it; I’ve seen her go halfway up the side of our house after a lizard.
