Are you sure that's alive?
It looks just like the cicada shells we find here all over trees, etc.

Yup. I tried to knock it off the post and it made that noise they make at night and climbed up the post. It's icky. At first I thought it was hollow but after that I didn't get any closer. There's still something in that shell.

I'd run far, far away from that thing!

I love cicadas. My youngest daughter collects the shells and names them all "Aladdin The Dead Bug duh-duh-duh-duuuuuh." Then she sticks them all over her shirt/hair and me and walks around singing to her "babies". It's really cute. It's fun watching them clamor out of their shells. Maybe we're just a little wierd.
