@firekitten830 submitted: Not an id request buuuut I figured you might appreciate some bug art! And a cuttlefish. The cicada is Magicicada cassini, one of the periodicals and my personal favorite. And the moth is a banded tiger moth, a pretty pal native to my area :] the cuttlefish is not anything specific, they are simply a friend
Great work, I could definitely tell what they are! The cuttlefish can be an honorary bug
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!)
I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!
