This is a cast off skin of Cicada.
After a long dark undergound life with pacience, they finally came out on the ground to get ready of another stage of life.
I wonder how old this cicade is.... Compared with the length of underground life, they will live only for sevral weeks on the ground.
The length really matters to them? Maybe not. They just live as they are just meant to live.
We only human beings think too much how we make life like this and like that, and we miss the point of "Being" at the moment.
