Ginda,
 
    Thanks for the info.  I do seem to have a good amount of them in the neighborhood.  I have seen their exoskeletons, if they even refer to them as that.  I will keep a close eye on my plants for any decline in health. 
I do remember seeing their ghostly skeletons on tree trunks in my front yard last year and didn't know what it could be from, but didn't notice any damage then.

Ouch!!  I guess you never know what your'e going to find out there.  Check out this picture I took of who I found in my tangelo...I think it is a cicada.  Hope he doesn't hurt my tree, I didn't know what he was at the time I took the photo!

Yup, that looks like a cicada.  They suck sap from trees when they are juvenile, but they grow very slowly, so they don't usually do much damage to trees, unless you have an awful lot of them.
