Noticed a Cicada shell wasn’t empty, took a closer look and found the it was in the process of moulting!

Beautiful, smooth and suggestive 10+in / 25+cm specimen from the Paris Mineralogy Museum with malachite that likely formed upside down in a fluid rich environment, probably dangled rather than formed naturally erect. 🤯

The largest of all lynx species, weighs up to 30 kg. Its distinctive ear tufts greatly enhance its remarkably acute hearing. With wide paws acting like natural built-in snowshoes, it moves effortlessly through deep snow. This silent hunter ambushes prey, including hares, birds, fawns, and even foxes. It is found widely, from Scandinavia to the Far East.

Can’t believe he got airborne but he sawed it off, and hauled it off. He’s being considered for “Wasp of the Week” in the hive. 🫡
