Cicada Shell Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I found a cicada shell! I'm glad the little guy came out of it!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Cicadas! The nerve! Not only are they loud, they leave their cicada shells lying about!

 When it's time for a cicada nymph to turn into an adult, you see, it clings to a tree and sheds its exoskeleton.

 Then it just leaves this shell of its former self hanging right there! Awful manners, really...and awfully terrifying too.
