Here is Betsy the Cicada pulling herself completely free! Sorry these stereovideos aren’t well-stabilized (catadioptric with hand-held mirror); I recommend viewing the 2nd shot first, which is better-aligned. Both are from ~34 minutes into ecdysis (molting).

And just like that, we have Betsy as an imago (adult) πŸ‘πŸ½
