Magicicada stuck in its nymphal skin
Occasionally cicadas get stuck in their nymphal skins (exuvia) during the molting process (ecdysis). The reasons why might be external forces like temperature, rain, wind, interference by other cicadas or other insects like ants, or something wrong with the cicada itself.
This is a photo sent to us by Liz G back in 2007 during Brood XIII from Peoria, Illinois.
