Cicada shells. ... I have taken to calling these bugs “former insects,” since the objects being seen are not entire insects but the cast exoskeletons (“skins”) of cicadas, family Cicadidae. Scientists call these shed skins “exuviae,” all that remains behind when the insect molts from the nymph stage into an adult.

Shoko Nakagawa—singer, TV personality, and reigning Pokémon queen—has been covering herself with cicada husks for the past few years, uploading the images to Twitter. In late July and early August, you can hear cicada throughout Japan. It’s one way you know it’s summer.

Online in Japan, this is the Twitter equivalent of marking the season. Just as it wouldn’t be summer in Japan without cicada chirping, it wouldn’t be summer in Japan without Shoko Nakagawa covering herself in cicada shells.

First, she uploaded this photo, which seemed rather whatever. No biggie!
