What kind of bug is this? And should I be worried that it was stuck to my dogs chin?
I got it off of him looks like it was dead it made a crunch when I crushed it but basically turned to dust So I assume it was completely dead before it got stuck to his chin
That鈥檚 just a cicada and it won鈥檛 hurt him. I have caught them many times and my cat used to catch them and eat them. The big birds also like to eat them. The shell is what remained after the cicada crawled out of it. Your dog probably saw it and went sniffing around and it crawled on him and started wiggling out to fly away.
