What is it?
Is it a cicada ?
That's what I thought it was going to be, Dixie, as the picture started showing, but, I think it's too small...
could it be the shell from one or what ever ya call em lol???
Cicada is right, or locusts...still think it's kinda small, tho...Yo! Mac...I can see you are on line...get your scrawny butt in here and tell us what it is...um...please? ;;)
Oh! Maybe I am looking at it wrong...maybe I am thinking I am looking down on it instead of straight at it...I think you may be right, Dix...
It is a shell from either a locust or what we call a "jar fly" ( an annual, summertime cicada)
Most likely its the latter unless this was "Locust Year" in Mac's little corner of New Jersey.
I think i got it just a tad small. LOL
I don't know what it is but it sure isn't anything I would like to come across. lol I think I know a lady that looks just like that bug!
It is a Cicada. They are actually suppose to live under ground for close to 15 to 17 years and they come above ground to breed and then die.
They are pretty noisy, but it's kind of a nice summertime sound. I've seen a few "shells" in my yard. And, holes in the ground where they came up.
Butt ugly far as I'm concerned.
I saw TONS of those in Tennessee......nasty nasty nasty ew ew ewwwwwwwwwww
I don't like them either....they give me the willies every time I go out to the garden and one buzzes by ...
Plenty of them here, as kids we stuck em to our clothes:P
I remember doing that too, Vonnie. Country kids can have fun with about anything, can't they!
thats one ugly looking thing you got there.
These things make such a racket. I usually find there remains but have only seen a few live ones.
