It was still alive.

Diceroprocta sp., likely viridifascia (NOT Neocicada)
There are several small cicadas in Florida. In this image, there are a few things to look at more closely.

1) The molt does not have the heavy dark annulations in the abdomen - dark margins to each segement as seen in Neocicada (but is very typical of Diceroprocta)
REFER to these images of Neocicada shells & nymphs:





2) The pattern on the mesonotum does not match that seen in Neocicada, but is consistent with Diceroprota.

3) Neocicada has a different head to pronotum ratio and often seems to have a bit more of a "neck"

4) the strong contrast between the pronotal collar & pronotal margin (just behind the head) and the "pronotal patches" is very suggestive of D. viridifascia.
