What in the World???

Okay all of my southern friends.... what is this scary looking creature?  It was found outside the apartment during a random wildlife expedition my roommate often does (code for: walking the yorkie).  SHE is a native southerner and has never seen one.

Below are multiple crappy pictures.  Tell me what it is and you get a reward of a virtual high five.

    That's a cicada shedding its nymph shell.

    i love cicadas! they shed their outer shell and it looks all creepy cool cuz it stays in place! and the cicada itself is pretty and colorful. i used to collect the shells as a kid :)
