Hi Joe,
Thanks for sharing this photo. It is kind of hard to tell species of cicada but judging by the date of your sighting, I'd say that this is perhaps a cast-off nymph skin of a Tibicen lyricen. On average, the other species found in Shrewsbury is T. canicularis but they have a tendency to emerge later in the summer season. Thanks for sharing your photo!
