Two Blue-Eyed Cicadas found in Chicagoland, by the same family!

It was first discovered by four-year-old Jack Bailey, who found it in his family's yard in Wheaton, Illinois. His 14-year-old sister, Caroline, noticed its blue eyes and showed it to their mom, Greta Bailey.

They let the cicada go; then discovering how rare it was went to find it again. They either found the same one, or another blue-eyes.

In a different neighborhood, another blue-eyes was found 🩵

This is so cool.

Tell me you've never wanted a molting cicada plushie. It's got iridescent wings. LOOK AT IT.

Also got a pitcher plant backpack...with a doomed caterpillar. Sorely tempted.

(he also makes glow in the dark plants) (and breeds monstera) (and has a free downloadable guide to plant breeding for cool characteristics)

anyway support independent artists or something? that make cool things?

Kraken sculpture made from cicada molts! Around 2 weeks of work cutting out the parts and glueing them onto an armature made of pipe cleaners and tape. Every “scale” is cut out from the abdomen of the molt, so each scale is from an individual cicada! This was a fun project made at the request of our museum director. No cicadas were harmed in the making of this sculpture.
