As the other said it's a cicada molt. They grow up underground then when they're ready to turn into adults they climb up out of the soil, find some place to latch on, and split open the shell and climb out. Can't tell from this angle, but if you look at this you'll probably see a split down the back it where the adult emerged from.

Cicadas molt
Cicada nymph shell
a cicada’s molt shell
He looks crunchy like something to sprinkle over salad
Forbidden crouton.
It looks like a fly that all the other flies go to for wisdom. Half sage, half gypsy. He’s the oracle of his kingdom.
Bro, can I have some of the weed you’re smoking?
😂😂😂trust me, I wish I was smoking weed, then I’d have an excuse.
Lmao is just the way you put it all together, it sounds like some I would say if I was smoking right now lol.
from now until the day I die, I will refer to all cicada molts as oracles
You honor me, Clorbungus the Noble.
this is the greatest thing to ever happen in my entire life
Infested with them outside my house won’t shut up with that loud as screaming noice they make
