i found more than i could count and they are right under the soil. the one in the photo is as large as a tibicen! IT was over an inch and inmature but was as large as a T linnei nypth. 1 or two were mature nypths and found one shell.

Hey Jake,
That sure is one strange Magicicada nymph. It does look immature still. Were the nymphs eyes red? From your photo they look more like a dark brown color.
Thanks for sharing.
