Molting Cicada

Tibicen linnei

Description:

I have no clue what this is. We found it on a pear tree. Someone commented this is a cicada molting.

Habitat:

"Cicadas live in temperate-to-tropical climates where they are among the most-widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and unique sound. " Wikipedia
