Post Challenge. Thanks for the votes and comments.
At last, I can tell some of you, No Bugs were harmed. This is just a shell of a bug that sheds. For a bunch of bug lovers you sure don't know much about bugs. Perhaps next time you are cleaning them off the windshield and grille of your car you could take a closer look at the ones you yourself killed. Maybe it will advance your bug knowlege.
I would like to know how many of you woudln't step on one of these if you found it in your house?

A different title would have helped. How about this "No Bugs were harmed. This is just a shell of a bug that sheds. For a bunch of bug lovers you sure don't know much about bugs. Perhaps next time you are cleaning them off the windshield and grille of your car you could take a closer look at the ones you yourself killed. Maybe it will advance your bug knowlege."
No bugs died in the making of this photo (I hope)! Cropped a bit too tight at the top as I feel it would be better to show all of the flame and concentrate less on the bug
Neat idea burning a cicada shell. It is very soft and I find myself wanting a much sharper image one where I can almost hear the crackling of the shell.
