It's brown it has 4legs and it's a bug
In the backyard
It's annoying and weird looking. It also has big eyes
It is the exoskeleton (called an 'exuvium') of a Cicada nymph. There are several species in the US and it would be hard to determine exactly which one from this photo.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada
I think it's a cicada's old exoskeleton.
