Cicada Husk

Description:

About 3 cm. They seem to cluster together on a tree as I always find many husks together. Empty husk burst open at the back.

Notes:

We have many many cicadas in our garden and they currently are bursting at their seams! All over the garden some trees have as many as 25 clustered together.

Try looking after dark with a flashlight you will surely watch one emerge no more than 1 metre from the ground.I have posted some pics.
This is called an exoskeleton.
