Best Answer

Cicadas shed their skin because they are insects. All insects shed their skin. It is called molting. An insect goes through several molts before it becomes an adult with wings. Cicadas simply climb trees and then shed their skins. They are easier to find. Not only do insects spread their skins but so do Spiders and crabs. Some snakes shed their skins and some birds shed their feathers.
