here's a thought: obviously in a perfect world cicadas would not be a problem, but this is not a perfect world.... so al i can see rn is those skeevy little bastards infiltrating the treehouse and little dove having a full on FIT if they land on her or fly near her and she just instinctively hides behind the wings of whoever's closest 🥺 screaming "GET IT AWAY FROM ME OR SO HELP ME GOD"
may or may not have thought that one up after being attacked by a cicada in my own room this morning. not fun
I’m so torn 😅. Because as much as it would be nice to see that moment of vulnerability from her, the practical side of my brain is like, but she’s an extremely adept forager, and one who lives in an era and region where they rely on everything to survive. 
So not only would she be regularly be exposed to bugs like this while gathering (and therefore less likely to fear them), but her people and the hybrid flock might even use them as a food source... cicadas are protein rich, and a close relative of the crustacean family.   
Wishing you all the luck in your own battle against the cicadas!
