Yikes! What Is This?
It may be a little hard to see, but The Herbal Husband found this insect shell attached to a raspberry leaf the other day. He always likes to scare/surprise me with these little gems! The more scared I am, the better! He thinks it's a bee molt, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking it's a cicada. Click on the picture to enlarge it. I'm going to a Master Gardener recognition ceremony in a little while and I'm going to take it there. See what my fellow master gardeners think! You can take a guess if you want and I'll let you know later. P.S. Tufa Girl is correct. It is a cicada skeleton!

I'm thinking cicada.
You are correct, Cindy! My colleague on Gardenline agreed with you and me! She said it reminded of her of Iowa as a little girl with a periodical cicada outbreak. Thanks for guessing!

The dear Herbal Husband thought it looked like a bee! What can I say! I just try to keep him on course! LOL! Hugs to you for stopping by Leslie!
