Cicada shells!

Couple of weeks ago, I went exploring in Wyman Park near JHU Homewood campus for some cicada nymph shells.  

I had pretty good luck; about 20 minutes of meandering around near the big trees yielded 4 nymph shells.  Most of them had all their legs.  

They all seem to be the same species -- dog-day cicada or Tibicen canicularis.  

 

Tomorrow I'll go look for some adult specimen.  

Here's a really neat link to pictures of cicadas, their identification and habitat!
