#periodic cicada
Text
A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and eventually die of sexual exhaustion.
Yes, the screaming is a lot, but they’ve been extremely quiet neighbors for thirteen years, cut them some slack as they go through the most fraught time of their lives.

Fun bug reunion event, lots of screaming.
anyway the hex code for the background i used was #696969 by accident but it seems fitting.
(buy on redbubble)

I've been stitching some cicadas lately. This year is going to be a big one for the screaming bugs!
For those interested in making their own cross stitched cicadas, the patterns are available for sale here and here! (Please note: my software skills mean that I had to freehand the AAAAAs rather than place them in the pattern itself, so those are not included in the patterns. This does mean that you can make these little guys uniquely your own and add any sort of scream that you'd like, though!)

Was able to borrow the macro lens to take some cicada photos!
The resolution on this is crazy
#bugs#insects#photography#entomology#cicada#periodical cicada#tumblr might crunch the resolution but the texture of the facets in the compound eye is visibly on my end

Great news for anyone in the brown or light blue areas! You may be seeing a whole lot of cicadas in spring :)
These 13 and 17-year periodical cicadas are in the genus Magicicada and will look just like those from brood X a few years ago:
Photo by Philip N. Cohen - Brood XIX, 2011
Note: Some of brood XIII emerged early in 2020, so if you were in the Chicago area at the time, you may have seen some.

I made Benoit in honor of the periodical Magicicadas. Unfortunately, where I live is just slightly further north (about 100 miles) than where they are emerging🖤
