Ugly? Not to a female cicada, attracted by his beautiful music!
This handsome fellow, the annual singing cicada, is shown lifesize.
Do I dress up in a giant cicada disguise and hide in the trees with
a net, to catch them? I used to; but now I just pick them up off the
lawn, as their biological clock shuts off the lights soon after
they've finished laying their eggs. | |

Cicada Wing Earrings For the longest time, I
have been fascinated by the idea of flying. Wings, and the freedom
they evoke, keep appearing in my dreams, and in my work. I made
these earrings with actual cicada wings, embedded in lightweight
acrylic resin, with sterling silver ear wires. 14kt gold loops and
ear wires are also available. The Cicada Wing Earrings are sold in
pairs (2 earrings), each of the same colour.
If you are wondering, 'are those real insect wings?' The answer
is yes. The Cicadas had completed their short life cycle before they
gave up their very delicate wings. So, no insects were harmed in the
creation of these unique earrings!
