This exoskeleton (or skin) of a cicada I found hanging from a screened gazebo. The netting looks almost like a metal chain but is really mesh screening. Where does it go from here in the chain of life?--------Victor

Oh my Goodness, I remember those and when I was little living in North Carolina I use to go around the pine trees and collect all the outer skins/shells they leave behind. Super close up of the outer skin, thanks for the memories Vic.
