Can someone please tell me what this is!! We parked Sofia’s bike for the night and in the morning found this exoskeleton holding tight onto her tire. I put it into a ziploc bag so she can share with the kids at daycare. But, i want to know what it is!! Help.

It’s a cicada but it looks like it’s just the shell, or about to leave the shell (in which case you’d better put it back on a tree!!! lol). They shed their shell somewhere through the life cycle. They make that awful noise at night that can drive you insane if you let it get inside your head.
