@Reason idc if they are just shells it's still creepy/nasty or whatever you want to call it and I wouldn't suggest anybody in thier right mind to do this they belong on trees or whatever NOT in a girl/womens hair i don't know what she was thinking but i don't think this will be a new trend anytime soon !

There is clearly some confusion about what a molt is here. People are reacting like she has either live bugs or dead bugs on her person. These are just hollow shells. The bug outgrows it and buggers off. That is why there is a split in the back. This is no more unsanitary than putting tree bark on yourself. Having grown up in a area that was populated with cicada shells seasonally, as a kid I always found them to be very cool. As a kid, and still, I was/am not into bugs in general, but the husks they leave behind are like little perfect bug models. I would probably have one on my desk or hanging from my monitor if I still lived in an area with them.

[...] Extras: Some people, not I, eat cicadas. If you’re inclined, here are some recipes. Also, some people like to wear the shells in their hair. [...]

In the southern United States, we pay good money to get get rid of creepy crawlies. I can recommend a good exterminator or a good psychiatrist, both of which seem appropriate.
