These are certainly not shells from the sea.
I found these cicada shells on my fence post.
They are covered in dirt.
The newly emerged cicadas left them behind.
I can hear them buzzing in the trees on this hot summer day.

Char, they are about an inch and a half at the most.
ReplyDeleteThis is another revelation for me. Like your four and five leaved clovers :)

I love these when I find these - even though we ahve a lot of cicadas every year I never find their nymph shells. Love them.
