My barking rat Sandy will go nuts over the darn things when I let her go
outside. She takes off after squirrels and birds when she goes out,
it will be interesting how many bugs I have to pluck out of her fur. ^_^

When they molt, the skin they leave behind looks very much like a
complete cicada, including legs, feet, etc.

The molted skin will stick easily to just about any type of clothing.
You get some funny looks if you wear a couple while chatting with the
neighbors.

They're also very easy to stick to little kid's clothes. Some kids
think it's pretty cool, others (and their Moms) get a little freaked
out.


Before I grew up, the last time I got hold of some skins, I would toss a
handful at someone and watch them freak out at the critters stuck to
their clothing. ^_^
