#cicada?

[dee-the-red-witch]

Yup, daily doodle time. Started as just an idea for an abstract-ish sternum-underbust design, but that got a whole lot more biomechanical and somehow stained glass in my head towards the end at the same time. I'm definitely going to add shading and color to this one before it's done, but I did also want to show off just the linework alone.

so my umi icons have the butterflies has a constant, and my cico ones have keropoyo… i wonder what motif my higurashi icons should have. any reccomendations?

Freshly molted cicadas are unreal

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.

OP made this post unrebloggable but me and my bf made this meme in a fit of obsession and it had to be shared

Thought some bug nerds might appreciate this:

Aren't they beautiful? Is this not one of the prettiest cicadas you've ever seen. Specifically it is a swamp cicada (Neotibicen tibicen).

The blue-ish teal green is just absolutely enchanting. And lookit how cute those beady little eyes are💕✨

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!)

Just a Cicada reaching for the stars

Edit: it is gouache, color pencil, and digital for the star beams! (Some people seemed curious haha, it is mostly paint though)

Also, this design will be available as prints and probably keychains in the near future 😊💗

Prints available here!

This magical boy is Zoltan. I hadn’t made a closed winged cicada in a while, and I figured it was time

And I know it's true, that visions are seldom what they seem
