Zammara smaragdina
Cicada (with shed from ecdysis).
You could have fooled me about being an entomologist with all of the insect IDs you've given me! Ecdysis is just the process of shedding, and species epithet refers to the species name, smaragdina in this case. Thanks again for all your IDs! I admit that I will be posting more insects I don't quite know the species of soon...
I am not an entomologist, I do not know what ecdysis is neither what's the meaning of epithet. But I have you the ID ;-)... Merry Xmas!
