Do not adjust your monitors: today's picture is not only right-side-up, but it is also in full color!
What you are seeing is a row of exoskeletons clinging to a branch as well as some semblance of life.
The line of empty shells almost resembles a memorial for cicadas past. It seems like just yesterday we were talking about their songs of love.
Of course, these sonorous creatures haven't bit the dust - they've simply flown the coop. Having reached adulthood, cicadas shed their skin and fly off to a second life.
The picture above is a color picture, although the silhouetted figures on the white background give it a desaturated and almost cartoonish appearance.
The picture below (also in color!) gives a better view of the (exo)skeleton crew.
