Ok I have some Timbits, by my desk this morning.  Today is Krispy Kreme's birthday, so they have
a buy a dozen donuts, get a dozen glazed donuts for $1.  There was a long line, in their Penn Station shop
this morning, and they were out of donuts!  So I stopped by Tim Horton's on my way out of Penn, and
got a couple of 40 packs of Timbits(think Dunkin munchkins).  So stop by the desk for some.

OK, I tried image search and Google claims it's a lizard. Obviously, they got that one wrong. What say you outdoor kinda folks? This thing is the size of a small mouse.

those are cicada shells, I believe.  You only see them once ever 7 years.

What is frightening is the cicada killing wasp, which preys on them.

It is the shell shed by cicada's after they emerge from the ground then the adult dries its wings and flies away to make those classic summertime sounds.

Individual periodic types of cicada's have cycles of 13 or 17 years.  Some have abbreviated cycles.  There are also annual cicadas  so every summer there are some.  It is thought that the cycles are meant as a way of starving out their predators, like the cicada killer.

It's an alien invasion. Best to go hide in your safe space until you get the all clear.

This is clearly the correct answer.

Yep, Cicadas, but there is a specie that comes back every year.  The 7 year ones i've seen are smaller and orange & black striped, while the yearly ones around my way are bigger and green.  the 7 year ones come as swarms of thousands, but the yearly ones are more individual with only a handful around at a time.  good afternoon all!
