"shed"

Aug.23.05 Filed in: nature

This is the shell of a bug that I came across in my front yard. These things are really crazy looking and its pretty wild how much detail is left in the shell of the bug after it sheds. I'm not sure what these things are called. Anyone else know? I got to see a live one recently which was kind of creepy. They are very such slow moving bugs. At any rate, enjoy the desktop!
