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.

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.
