Anybody know what these are?

Spotted these two on my tyre in south of France. Anybody know what these delightful creatures are?

Grey ones definitely a transformer

Just make sure they don't get inside.
I think hourly night patrols will be required

Google Lens says they are Cicadas.

They look like what a cicada pupa sheds when it hatches. Have you not moved for a while?

We once parked up at a campsite in Corsica and in the morning found everything we had left outside covered in caterpillars. We shook them all off (so we thought) and headed back home.

A few weeks later (at home) I opened the MH to find it full of large moths flying around. I dread to think what illegal species we had imported.

I think they are Rhino beetles.

If my Mrs saw those, we'd be outa' there by now

Fleas......big ones.
I'd move into a hotel until they move on.

I thought Cicada were more like a cockroach and they rub their rearmost legs together to get the Cicada night-time song.

We parked up at a site near Genoa early in the morning. When we came back late at night, the van was full of ants. They were coming up the EHU cable, I could barely see the bright yellow cable because of the moving black bodies on it. They'd then found a route in through a fridge vent and inside. They'd got to very little of our food. There were making a major march on our bin though. I went a bit nuts with the fly spray and irradiated a few hundred of them. But we'd keep finding small clusters of them for a couple of weeks afterwards. I spent a small fortune on ant traps, sprays and powders in every supermarket I came across. Some of the hanger-ons did a few thousand miles back to France, around Switzerland, Austria up through to the top of Germany before we stopped seeing them.

It would appear the sandy coloured one is the empty shell of the blue-ish one.

Only noticed them this morning.
