Empty Cicada Shell

I was taking photos of butterflys and spotted this Cicada shell. I liked the way it was holding on to the twig and the way the evening sunlight was shining on it.
Thank you for viewing and commenting, I appreciate it.

I don't know much about the cicada except the lovely summery noise I hear in NZ so didn't know they come out of their shells....must read up !

@happypat There is a split in the middle of the back that they crawl out of. You can see the opening on this one.
