Grasshopper's shed skin

It seemed to be the day for shed skins (exuviae) of insects. Here, the ghostly white of the left-behind skin of a grasshopper, was clinging to a Queen Anne's lace. Many species of insect molt several times (about 4 to 7). This shedding of the old encasing exoskeleton, allows them to grow with each molt.
