New exoskeleton who dis

A very light green cicada perched on top of its own shed exoskeleton.

Spotted at the Nash County Rest Area in Dortches, North Carolina, USA.

I’ve never actually seen a just-emerged cicada before, and the lightness of its coloration makes it hard to tell what kind it is. But the Internet says there’s a thing called a “dog day cicada” that lives in North Carolina, and I’m a grown human and can choose what I believe.
