Weird bug on orange tree??
Hey guys, there's this weird bug we've noticed on my little brother's orange tree. It's just chillin' there upside down lol
 Anyone know what this thing is? It's so weird looking. OldPath

Looks like the old, empty, exo-skeleton to me.

hey OldPath,
no reason to worry, that is just the shed exoskeleton of a Cicada not a locust. They chew on tree roots when they are young, but don't do any noticeable damage. Insects and spiders have a hard shell that makes their bodies rigid, so they must shed their skin in order to grow. Cicada nymphs spend their whole life underground until it's time to transform into an adult, mate, lay eggs, and die. You can hear them calling on hot summer days.

Hey what a cool time lapse, looks an interesting insect. I love insects Humans would be lost without them. They clean up after us, pollinate the food we eat and do all sorts of wonderful things we know nothing about. The only thing I hate are wasps and earwigs
