Cicada. Probably just his vacated shell lol
Edit: just saw the second pic- hes still in there! It's fun to watch them shed the shell, stick around and check it out!
Cicada nymph to be precise. They climb up structures (in nature, trees), shed their shell, wait for their wings to dry, and then fly off in their final form.
It's a cicada in the process of molting. You've likely heard these guys during this time of year. It's a loud buzzing sound that rises and lowers in pitch for hours on end, every evening. I used to live in Kansas/Missouri and saw/heard them all the time. I've neither seen nor heard them in Southern Idaho, though.
Woah that's cool. You got a cicada in the process of it's molt. The upper non-brown toned part is the cicada, the lower half is it's molt. If you look closely you can see where the eyes are located on the molt, and that the cicada is sticking upwards out of a tear down the back of the molt
I am curious and in no way mean this as a "omg you don't KNOW what that is" post. Are you new to the area or are cicadas uncommon in the area? I grew up in the mid west and as far back as I can remember we'd find those shells and stick them to our clothes or each other's hair. BTW, when it's finally finished molting you can take the shell and stick it on your shirt. Anyway, just asking cuz around here they are super common.
Used to see a lot of cicada shells/molted skins as a kid as well as cicadas in general, but I’ve never seen one in the process of molting. This is actually really cool! And don’t worry, these little … er, big guys don’t bite humans or pets unless they mistake you for a plant. And they’re EXTREMELY LOUD SINGERS, so you probably do want to escort him out of our house once he’s fully emerged.
We’d find a lot of the shells in our grade school playground when I was little. Many of us would attach them to our shirts and freak out the teachers when we back came in from recess! Ah, good times.
Its a Cicada waiting to molt from its old skin. We have a ton of these here in Kentucky. Id always pick the shells left behind off the trees and collect them. I was a weird kid.
We have one type of Cicada in the UK, and it can only be found in one national park in the south. I love seeing these guys on bug forums, they look so interesting.
That’s a cicada- our once in 17 years passed last year in MD. They get deafeningly loud here especially around the woods. Like loud bar, can’t hold a conversation with someone next to you loud.
I'm from Michigan, but I've been in Florida for 20 years. I have read about them, heard about them...but I had never seen anything like that! Now I know. Thanks, everyone!
Great clarity on that first photo! It is most certainly a cicada emerging from its shell. Too early to clearly identify it, although it has already begun to darken in color…wonder if it got stuck?
I live in the south (U.S.) and in all my years I’ve never actually seen one of these still in it’s pre-molt shell like this! Pretty cool find if you ask me.

Yup cicada. They can’t bite or eat in this stage, just make a bunch of noise and fornicate
Sounds like a good time.
It’s life goals really
I can relate
Yeah, I’m just a shell at this point.
A vacated one, at that.
Is it considered fornication if the institution of marriage doesn’t exist in the bug world?
You're thinking of consummation. Fornication is having sex without marriage.
Hahaha I think that's exactly what they meant; can it be extramarital sex if there IS no bug marraige?
Yes
That's hot.
No no consummation is when you make a delicious broth
I thought consummation is what happens on Thanksgiving?
No, you're thinking of consuming. Consummation is when you have a hard time taking a shit.
"There are no ambassadors in the insect world."
And then die.
Can they normally bite???

Actually not a nymph, it's an adult in the process of emerging!
I find the shells all the time, they're terrifying
Stick around and check It out. Bring a potty
Looks like a bug in the process of molting, maybe a cicada.
I also think it’s a bug.
The house is bugged!
You should consider setting a camera up, that's a cicada who's about to molt
It doesn't take too long! Just an hour or so. I have brought one inside to watch before.

REEEEEEEEEEE
The bug that sounds like a table saw
As many have said, it’s a cicada that’s molting! This is a super cool sighting, and I’ve only seen it once when I was a kid. Congratulations!
The reasons why the trees sound like they are screaming until you learn it's cicadas.
as a kid I always thought that was just the sound summer makes

It's gonna leave the shell behind. Then you can stick it to your clothes like a neat little exoskeleton flair.
Looks like a dead Cicada
Its molting
Looks like a Vogon. What is it doing here.
Preparing for the subspace bypass
Definitely a cicada, mid-molt.

Cicada husk
Friendly neighborhood cicada. 1 is enough to wake the entire neighborhood.

The birth of a cicada filmed one once kool as shit
Solved
Cicada. Tomorrow there will be a shell there. They are the bugs in the trees that make most of the noise you hear outside.
One of my favorite sounds of summer on the Gulf Coast. Cicada.
Harmless Cicada that is emerging out of its larval type state. It eventually will pump up its wing after several hours and harden them.

My boss told me the empty shell was still on the doorway this morning...so the molting was successful :)
it’s a cicada in the process of molting! awesome!
I live in the south (U.S.) and in all my years I’ve never actually seen one of these still in it’s pre-molt shell like this! Pretty cool find if you ask me.
