Found about 25 of these on my wood shed wall in central Oregon. They are just skeletons. About 3/4 inch in length. Look like they were stuck in the paint, but paint was not new. Some inside the wood shed where there is no paint. Some hanging upsidedown in same condition.
CLOSED: Identification please
That is the shell of the final stage of a cicada molting to adulthood
