This looks like the shed skin of a cicada, a singing (buzzing) insect. As nymphs, they live underground, sucking sap from tree roots. When mature, they climb to the surface and shed their skins, transforming into winged adults. I’ve seen a few of the adults around my home this year. Their wings are unusually sturdy, and the vein patterns can be very beautiful.
